Wreaths Across America
On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at South Thomaston Village Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes.
Please help our location lay wreaths at as many graves as possible by going to wreathsacrossamerica and clicking the “Sponsor” button. If you go to the South Thomaston Lions Sponsor page (ME0122) we will get an extra wreath for every two paid for (at $17/wreath). You can also give a check (made out to South Thomaston Lions’ Club) to any of our Lions’ Club members. The cut-off date for this years’ wreath donations is December 3rd. We currently have 108 wreaths donated and our goal is 135.
If you would like to join us/help us lay the wreaths, please be at the Village Cemetery by 11:30 on December 14th.
Thank you so much for supporting South Thomaston Village Cemetery, Wreaths Across America and your local Lions’ Club!
