The Vincennes Kiwanis and Vincennes Rotary Clubs are teaming up again this year to keep the Wreaths Across America program in Vincennes. The goal is to place a wreath at the graves of all 3500 veterans buried in the Vincennes City Cemeteries. Last year, the group raised funds to place 2000 wreaths, and the goal this year is to get even closer to the 3500 needed. Deadline to purchase a wreath has been extended to December 15th. Wreaths are $17 each and can be purchased by individuals or businesses. Orders can be taken in person at the Vincennes Water Department office, or at Henderson Transfer, 1611 Broadway. Orders can also be mailed to Box 272, Vincennes, or online at Wreaths Across America dot org.
Checks can be made out to Wreaths for Knox County. Your contribution not only pays honor to local veterans, but also benefits the 2 local service clubs that give tens of thousands of dollars each year back to the community.
