We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at St. Clair Memorial Gardens. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the cemetery itself.
Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:
- Per Gov. Ivey's Safer at Home order, we ask that everyone wear a mask and maintain 6 feet distance.
- Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.
- Please help ensure that all participants get the opportunity to place a wreath immediately following the ceremony.
- Wreaths should be propped against stakes designating a veteran's grave. Wreaths should face Hwy 231. Please follow additional instructions on where to place wreaths, as well as "how" they should be placed. There are 270 veterans scattered throughout the cemetery.
- We especially appreciate volunteers willing to help clean-up on January 23, 2021 at 10:00. Please contact mindy.manners@yahoo.com if you are interested in helping with the clean-up.
The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for help Wreaths achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.
