What makes quick work? A great pair of gloves, rakes, and rope. Sound like a mystery? Well, some of our volunteers will move throughout the cemetery, using the handle end of the rake to collect several wreaths before stacking them for recycling pickup. Others will use ropes for a similar process. But EVERYONE can benefit from a good pair of gloves to keep their hands protected and warm!

Pull into the cemetery on the right side of the road (please don't park on the turf), as we need to keep the roadways clear.

We can't wait to see you on Saturday!

Thank you for honoring our veterans!
