[PGR_PA_r11] Non PGR Mission: Wreath Pickup / 25 January 2020 / Cecil Township, PA

[PAPGR Vet Rep West]

 Good Evening All,

I want to Thank everyone for another successful year in Unloading and
Participating in Wreaths Across America 2019 Memorial at The National
Cemetery of the Alleghenies. Without you, this wouldn't be possible!

I received an email today from NCOTA requesting us and to share, needing
volunteers for Saturday, 25 January 2020 starting at 8AM, picking up over
12,300 wreaths.

*National Cemetery of the Alleghenies*
1158 Morgan Rd, Cecil Township,PA 15017

In the past, the wreaths were picked up and placed in the dumpster then
were taken to a landfill. They could not be recycled because of the red
plastic ribbon that is attached to the wreath.

This year, they will be trying something different. They are asking all
attending to remove the red ribbons from the wreaths before the caretakers
come to pick them up. There will be receptacles at each of the sections to
collect the red ribbons,this way all the wreaths can be recycled and only
the red ribbons will be placed in the landfill.


*Remember that the National Cemetery is a Federal Reservation and NO
WEAPONS are permitted.*

*Please be aware & alert of your surroundings. Also before heading out,
please watch the weather and dress accordingly.*


Thank You & Happy New Year!

Sincerely,


*Marcella Delayne Sorensen*
