The 4th Annual Eastwood Community Wreaths Across America campaign is underway. Chad and Victoria Albright, Eastwood Key Club, Freedom American Legion Auxiliary Unit #183 Pemberville, Troy-Webster American Legion Auxiliary Unit #240 Luckey, Laurie Limes, Mary Morgan, Christine and Rick Greulich are spearheading the effort to put wreaths on veteran’s graves in the Eastwood district for the Christmas Holiday. This year the group will cover veteran’s graves in eight cemeteries. Webster Township, Old & New Belleville Ridge, Salem, Pemberville Union, Fish, Eisenhour, and Troy Township.
The wreaths cost $15 each, and approximately 1500 are needed to assure that every veteran buried in these cemeteries has a wreath on their grave. This year, we will again have the buy 2, get 1 free agreement with Wreaths Across America. If you are interested in supporting this project, please make a check payable to WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA for $15times the number of wreaths you wish to sponsor. Remember, if you sponsor TWO wreaths, we will get the THIRD ONE FREE, so you will be sponsoring wreaths for THREE veteran’s graves. Sponsorship forms are available at Eastwood High School, and from any committee member listed below. They are also available on the Eastwood Community Wreaths Across America Facebook page. The sponsor form includes a QR Code to scan. If you wish to sponsor online, please visit https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/162817 for a secure online transaction. Use the Fundraising Group ID: OH0225, Location OHWTCP. Orders must be received by Wreaths Across America before November 20th to be credited for this year.
Wreaths will be shipped directly to the location, not to individuals. The placement ceremony will be Saturday, December 17th at 10:00 a.m. in the Eastwood High School Auditorium. The groups will move to the respective cemeteries immediately following the ceremony. Family members of the veterans will first be asked to place a wreath on their loved one’s grave, then volunteers will place the rest of the wreaths.
As longtime advocates of veterans and their families, we can’t think of a better Christmas gift. Please act now to be included as sponsors for this wonderful project.
A special thank you to Chad and Victoria Albright for bringing this project to our community!
