Each year, the National Society North Carolina Colonial Dames 17th Century Lord Craven Chapter passionately supports the Wreaths Across America initiative, a
poignant and patriotic program dedicated to honoring and remembering our
nation's veterans. This year, our chapter's efforts were particularly notable
and heartfelt. Through a generous donation made during the 2-for-1 sale, the
Lord Craven Chapter facilitated the purchase of 59 wreaths. This significant
contribution aligns with our ongoing mission to ensure that every grave at the
Wilmington National Cemetery in Wilmington, North Carolina, is honored with a
wreath.
Our chapter earned back five dollars for half of the total
wreaths sponsored. So, with 58 wreaths sponsored, the chapter would earn $5
times 29, which would be $145. For members who did not participate in the
2-for-1 sale, you have until November 27th to purchase additional wreaths to
guarantee a wreath on all 5,126 graves at Wilmington National Cemetery. This
program is among the best and easiest programs to help our chapter earn funds.
So, ladies, “Keep on Buying Wreaths.”
