Troop 20 Scouts....here's a great opportunity to get some service hours!
Friends Of Middleborough Cemeteries is participating in the Wreaths Across America program. On Saturday, December 15th, they will be laying wreaths on the grave sites of Middleborough's Civil War Veterans at the various cemeteries in town and they could use some volunteers to help place the wreaths.
Volunteers are asked to arrive at Central Cemetery, Central Street, Middleborough, at 10:00AM. Scouts should be in Class A uniform and we are asking parents to please stay with your Scout to provide transportation if they are needed at another cemetery.
The plan is to place wreaths at the Central Cemetery starting at 10:00AM.
At 12:00, there will be a remembrance ceremony at the Town Hall which is expected to last around 30 minutes. After the ceremony, volunteers will be assigned to help place wreaths at the other cemeteries in town.
Scouts do not need to volunteer for the entire day but if you can spare a couple of hours, it's for a great cause to remember our veterans during the holiday's.
It is expected to be raining so please dress appropriately.
If anyone has any questions, please contact Mr. Pierce at: larry@pierce-family.net and remember to copy Mr. Swindle on your email.
