Del Norte Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution sends thanks and appreciation to every person who supported the Independence Day weekend kick-off sponsorship venture for Wreaths Across America.
Those who sponsored wreaths, those who stopped by to inquire about the project, those who checked out the display and everyone who spoke, smiled and said words of appreciation, Del Norte DAR extends heartfelt thanks to each one. Thanks also to Safeway Management, and the local media, printed and on-the-air, for publicity support.
Wreaths Across America is a nationwide endeavor to see that every veteran is honored and remembered for their service to our country and to teach and inform the public of all ages, what it means to serve in our military and defend our nation. The wreaths are made from fresh balsa fir in Maine; shipped cross-country by volunteer truckers, with stops at veterans cemeteries from coast to coast; then ceremoniously placed on veterans gravesites in mid-Dec
Del Norte Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution gathered Jan. 23 for a Community Clean-Up event. Putting the DAR motto, God, Home and Country, into action, the volunteers cleaned around the POINT OF HONOR to the adjacent parking lot area.
With the recent high tides, winter rains and winds, a variety of unsightly debris had accumulated throughout the clean-up area. The volunteers spent hours of their Saturday diligently cleaning the area that is highly visible to residents, visitors to town and travelers driving through the community. Just seeing the area nice and clean again was reward enough for the volunteers.
Those attending the activities included Regent Cori Higgins, Kathy Alexander, Kris DeCosio, Rachel Malone-Olson, Wendy Malone, Priscilla Waldvogel and Marlene Young.
