You may have heard about Wreaths Across America™in the news. This is the organization that lovingly places wreaths on the graves of heroes at Arlington National Cemetery with the help of thousands of sponsors and volunteers who purchase and place each wreath with honor and remembrance.
Blue Star Mothers Chapter 12 are helping to bring this program here to the Williamsport area.
On Saturday, December 17th, your wreath will be placed on a local hero’s grave following a special ceremony— the same day that wreaths are placed on the graves at Arlington National Cemetery and other participating cemeteries.
We need your support. We are seeking individuals, families, groups and corporations who would like to help us remember and honor our Veterans laid to rest at Wildwood by sponsoring a wreath. Each wreath is $15. Please see our enclosed donation form.
We are also seeking individuals and groups who would like to volunteer their time to help us place these beautiful wreaths on this special day.
Donations for wreaths may be made out to Blue Star Mothers of America North Central PA Chapter 12 and mailed to PO Box 851, Williamsport, PA 17701.
Interested volunteers may contact our volunteer coordinator, Kim Barr at BSMAchapter12@yahoo.com. And please visit our web pages to learn more about our organizations at www.bluestarmothers.org and www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.
Yours Truly in Service, Sisterhood and Support,
