Wreath Retirement Day – Date Changed to January 18
January 18 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
This event is an opportunity to come together again and honor our veterans by retiring the remembrance wreaths. It’s a family-friendly activity, so feel free to bring your loved ones, including children. The work is light, and many hands make it even more enjoyable!
What to Bring:
- Work Gloves – Essential for handling the wreaths.
- Broomsticks (without the broom) – Surprisingly effective for gathering multiple wreaths at a time.
- Garden Wagons (if you have one) – Great for transporting wreaths to the roadside in each section.
- Trucks and Trailers – While box trucks will be onsite, additional vehicles are always appreciated.
Procedure:
- Start in any section, ideally where you laid wreaths.
- Use broomsticks to gather wreaths and stack them near the road.
- Trucks will transport the wreaths to the dumpster south of the Administration building in the new pit area. Volunteers will be available to guide you.
- Please park on the right side of the road to ensure enough space for trucks to pass.
**ONE-WAY traffic will be observed throughout the cemetery for safety and efficiency**
Additional Opportunities:
RESTOCK THE LOCAL FOOD BANK!
This holiday season has been challenging for many North Texans. On January 11th, let’s continue spreading kindness by bringing non-perishable food items. A collection truck will be stationed at the main entrance to receive your donations as you come in Saturday.
