Description
We are helping to rasie funds to create a prayer garden at the VFW, which will include a white vinyl screened in gazebo with seating. At night, a light will shine as a reminder of those we have lost. The poem In Flanders Fields will be posted in an artistic way. Around the gazebo, there will be red silk poppies and blue edging, and a stone pathway leading up to it. Inside, the ceiling will feature decals of each military branch, making it a place of reflection and remembrance for veterans and their families.
We plan on rasing money a few diffrent ways. Raffels-selling tickets, bbq fundraiser with silent auction.
