National Wreaths Across America Day
Saturday, December 16, 2023
In Partnership with Wreaths Across America, the Knox County Career Center is asking for sponsors for wreaths to lay on the gravesites of veterans at Mound View Cemetery on December 16, 2023. Our goal is to have as many wreaths as possible. Currently, there are about 1050 veterans buried at the cemetery.
There are two different things that anyone can do to help out. The first thing is to come to Mound View Cemetery on December 16, 1200 (noon), for a brief ceremony, then to lay wreaths. This will typically take about one to two hours. It could take more or less time depending on the number of wreaths and volunteers we have.
The second thing people can do is sponsor wreaths. Wreaths are $17 each. Each person can buy as many or as few as they would like, but the bottom line is, we must have sponsors for wreaths for this to be successful. There are a couple of ways a person can sponsor wreaths:
First, they can go to: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/OH0017P. This will take them to our "partnered" website with Wreaths Across America and ensure the wreaths go to Moundview Cemetery.
Second: a person can go to the Knox County Career Center web page, scroll down under "events" until they see a flier for Wreaths Across America, click to look at the flier, and then scan the QR code. This will take them to the website.
Please note, that for every wreath sponsored on the website, the JROTC will receive a $5 donation.

"I am currently the COO at Great Clips, Inc., and have been with the company for 29 years, starting as a field consultant (trainer) and working through the ranks to COO. I have many fond memories of my two years at KCCC. I give almost all the credit to my senior instructor Marilyn Laisure, who sadly passed away. She fully prepared my class for the State Board Exam and exposed us to the Cosmetology Industry outside of working behind the chair. She was witty, kind, and no-nonsense."
