Published

Wreaths Across America comes to Bowie’s Elmwood Cemetery this Saturday with the wreath laying ceremony at 11 a.m. on Dec. 14.
The Amity Club and Maids and Matrons Club of Bowie have been spearheading the effort to lay remberance wreaths on veteran’s graves. It is a continuation of the nationwide effort that began in Arlington National Cemetery in 1992 when Morrill Worcester, a Maine businessman wanted to honor those at the national cemetery. The campaign has since expanded to more than 1,200 participating locations across the country.
The clubs set a goal of sponsoring 300 wreaths for Elmwood Cemetery, but that expanded to 450.
Volunteers are welcome to gather at 10:30 a.m. to assist with the laying of wreaths for veterans. The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. Address of the cemetery is 1115 E. Nelson, Bowie.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
