The Lord Craven Chapter of Colonial Dames will hold their November 18, 2017 meeting at The Carolina BBQ on 1602 S College Road in Wilmington, NC at 11:30. The guest speaker will be announced later. The deadline to order wreaths for fallen soldiers at Wilmington National Cemetery is November 17-21st. If you can bring a check to the meeting you could make it out to Wreaths Across America. If you prefer to do it on line click on the tab at the top of the page and follow the directions. You can order a wreath on line until November 27th. There are over 5,000 graves at the cemetery. It was be a first this year if we could put a wreath on every grave. The wreaths are $15.00.
"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 out Veterans and God bless America."
Fran Carlsen, Chair Wreaths Across America
Contact Phyllis Wilson if you are having difficulty accessing the website or problems ordering a wreath. You can also make out a check to Wreaths Across America and give it to either Fran or Phyllis at the November meeting.
