Amity Club selling wreaths Saturday
The Amity Club is happy to participate in “Wreaths Across America” again this year and members invite you to purchase a wreath for a local veteran.
Each year wreaths are purchased, distributed and placed on the graves of veterans in Elmwood Cemetery in Bowie. The desire to cover each veteran’s grave in the cemetery is becoming more and more possible with donations and purchases of wreaths by the club and local members of the community.
A credit is calculated and given to the Amity Club toward the purchase of more wreathes based on the previous year’s sales record. Members hope this will be the year. The cost for a wreath is $15.
The Amity Club will have a booth in downtown d Saturday to take orders for wreathes. That location is subject to change – look for the Amity ladies and help the club reach its goal. Volunteers will be invited to lay the wreaths a few weeks before Christmas.
