                 Wreaths Across America

We are in the process of participating in a 2-for-1 Sale with Wreaths Across America. Each wreath is $17. If you buy 1 wreath it will become 2 wreaths. If you buy 5 wreaths it will become 10 wreaths. The time frame for this program is from December 16, 2023, until January 16, 2024. Please either buy wreaths online or quickly mail or drop the check off at Susan DeGroote's house.  Susan will need to mail these wreaths ASAP. If someone would really like to buy wreaths but is hesitant to go through the procedure e-mail Phyllis Wilson at par4wilson@gmail.com and she will help you order your wreaths. 

Susan DeGroote, Treasurer and Wreaths Across America Chair

This year our treasurer, Susan DeGroote will be accepting checks made out to Lord Craven Chapter CDXVllC for wreaths for Wreaths Across America. She will cash them and by a certain date will send in a check to WAA and order all the wreaths from our chapter at one time. This will save time and avoid possible loss of checks. The wreaths are now $17.00 for a wreath. If you need to contact Susan you can e-mail her  at: susandegroote2@gmail.com

Susan's home address is listed in the online members' list for Lord Craven Colonial Dames members.

 This is a direct website for our Lord Craven Colonial Dames chapter to sponsor a wreath.


1. Click on Sponsor a wreath. Each wreath is $17.00.

2.  Fill in your information and the name of the person. Then your credit card information. If you do not get a thank-you e-mail after donating or you don’t receive a confirmation e-mail, then the transaction did not go through. Let Phyllis know after you have ordered a wreath for her record keeping. I suggest that you don't use PayPal. Although, I checked on it and it will work it appears that you are sending the wreath to your home address. So, just use your regular credit card or debit card.

If you are having problems ordering a wreath then call the main number for Wreaths Across America at 877-385-9504 Monday-Friday someone will answer the phone between 7:00 am through 7:00 pm. On weekends you can call Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am until 2:00pm. You can buy a wreath by credit card or debit card. If you call any other time you can leave your name and phone number, and someone will call you back. When talking to a representative from Wreaths Across America you will need to tell them the number for our Lord Craven Chapter is NC0008P and the cemetery is Wilmington National Cemetery.NCWNCE.

Chapter members and also write out a check to the Lord Craven Chapter CDXVllC for wreaths and give it or mail it to Susan DeGroot, our treasurer.

"This year, when you place a Wreath on a Veterans Grave, you will know it is not just a wreath. It's your personal gift to an American hero, and you will swell with pride, and have a tear in your eye knowing you've done something special for our Veterans and their families. God bless our Veterans and God bless America."
