Wreaths Across America opens local campaign
The Amity Club and Bowie Maids and Matrons have launched their Wreaths Across America campaign with a goal of 1,000 wreaths to be placed on local veteran’s graves during the Christmas holidays.
Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 2,100 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad.
To purchase a wreath go to GFWC Texas The Amity Club Facebook Page or call Patti Poe at 940-867-3973. The wreaths are $15 each and $5 stays with the club, as The Amity Club reinvests the money earned for the next year’s wreaths. Purchase a wreath online at: WreathsAcrossAmerica.org. Deadline to buy a wreath is Dec. 1.
Wreaths Across America Day is Dec. 19 with the local program to take place at Elmwood Cemetery.
