WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

The Woman's Club of Mingo is in dire need of sponsors for our Wreaths Across America Project. We are not going to make our Goal of 300 Wreaths. Please consider sponsoring at least 2 Wreaths and we will get credited for 1 more wreath for FREE.

Contact Stephanie Rouse, if you need a form or if you have any questions. [email protected] or 740-346-6535. You may also order online at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org - Be sure to use our code OH0331. The cost is $17 per wreath. There are also forms down at the Mingo City Building.

Please honor our Veterans in Oakland Cemetery. December 14th there is a Ceremony at the K of C. beginning at 11:30. It is a very moving Ceremony that includes the folding of the Flag and explanations of each fold. Wreath Placement will be following the ceremony.

Mail in deadline is December 1st so if you are getting together with your Family for Thanksgiving, please consider making a donation. We are only half way to our goal.

Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as over 4,600 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea, and abroad. Help us by sponsoring Veterans....

If you find any of the “Mingo Veterans Banners” down or falling please notify Village Administrators office @ 740-535-1263. OR, if you retrieve one that has fallen please take it to the village water office.

We are currently hunting for one that is missing from the old WPS entrance. The honored last name is Altieri. If anyone picked it up please take it to the village water office to be put back up.

Everyone involved in this project is doing the best they can with the manpower they have. All banners will be taken care of as time, weather and manpower are available.

From Dorothy Mazik (the founder and leader of the Banner program)

Today we finished the last of the 55 Veteran Banners. I want to thank everybody that purchased a banner for their loved ones. And I want to thank everybody that volunteered for this project. It started January 11 and we finished up this morning putting 310 Veteran Banners up. I can't begin to thank everybody that was on the committee, and especially the ones that protected our volunteers while out hanging the banners.🇺🇸🇺🇸 thank you and God bless you all!!!🤗
