LJC 2016 Class Project: WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA
 
The 2016 Class of Leadership Jackson County has selected Wreaths Across America as their Class Project.  The class has been fundraising to purchase wreaths for Pinecrest Memorial Gardens and will also take part in the Wreath Laying Ceremony on Saturday, December 17th at 10:00 a.m.  So far their efforts have resulted in the purchase of 97 wreaths.  An additional 132 wreaths are needed to complete the mission and honor the 416 Veterans laid to rest at Pinecrest Memorial Gardens.
 
If you or anyone you know is interested in donating, please have them purchase their wreaths by Saturday, December 3, 2016 on the www.wreathsacrossamerica.org website using our fundraising group code FL0362.
 
Wreaths Across America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, begun by Maine businessman Morrill Worcester 25 years ago. The organization’s mission, Remember, Honor, Teach, is carried out in part each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies each December at Arlington, as well as at thousands of veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states and beyond. For more information, to sponsor wreaths or to sign up to volunteer, please visit www.WreathsAcrossAmerica.org.
