Wreaths Across America is Sponsoring a 2 for 1 Sale: Buy 1 Wreath Get 1 Wreath Matched up until January 16, 2024.

 

This is the first year in 2023 that we haven’t put a wreath on the grave of every Veteran at Wilmington Nation Cemetery in a long time.  Wreaths Across America is sponsoring another program that should spark an incentive to want to buy some wreaths. It is called 2 for 1. If you buy 1 wreath for $17.00 we get 2 wreaths to put on graves. If you buy 5 wreaths there will be 10 wreaths to put on the graves.  The 2-for-1 program started December 16th. If you have already bought a wreath by credit card I would suggest doing the buying the same way. Only 2 things: Go to the website below which will take you directly to the 1812 Commissioner Gause Website site and don’t add $3.00 to their technology fund. Below is the information you need to do this. You will get a form e-mailed immediately after you buy your wreaths, but you will be e-mailed another receipt, and that one would list our chapter on it. It should have listed it on the first immediate receipt too. I would like you to forward me the 2nd receipt that they e-mailed you for my records. The 2-for-1 Sale started on January 16, 2023. If you are going to buy by credit card you have until January 16, 2024, to purchase some wreaths. That is the last day of the 2 for 1. You have until January 16th at 12:00 midnight to purchase wreaths. Then the 2 for 1 is over. My e-mail address is par4wilson@gmail.com.    

 

 If you are going to buy a wreath by writing a check you need to make it out to Commissioner Charles Gause Chapter 1812.  You would need to mail Cindy Sellers your check ASAP since mail will be slow. The checks must have a date between December 18 - January 16, 2024, to be considered for this 2-for-1 purchase. Contact Cindy at  cindysellers@ec.rr.com. She will give you her mailing address.

You have until January 16th at 12:00 midnight to purchase wreaths. Then the 2 for 1 is over. Let's all rally and buy a few wreaths. I think if all our members would buy wreaths we will be in great shape to put a wreath on every grave for 2024.
