Thank you to all who came out and helped with Wreaths Across America here at Mt Olivet Cemetery. It is a cold, foggy, rainy day, but that didn't stop people from joining in. Our veterans and their loved ones really appreciated it.

Just want to thank everyone who volunteer to help at the cemetery today. And I would like to thank all who did come and buy food and play games. All proceeds go to the cemetery. We will draw the Raffles in the morning and if you win, we will call you and arrange when you can come pick them up. Thanks again to all who are involved. Funds for the cemetery are very much needed, and appreciated.

Today was a success for the Veterans Day Program at Mt Olivet Cemetery. It was a beautiful day to have the event. Early this morning before the event, our head groundskeeper Jerry Kress, washed the big "V" in section Honor. Then Jerry Kress and Scott Storm blew all the leaves away from the graves in Honor. Blaine Gladfelter and Steve Redding, did a wonderful job organizing this event. They also lowered and replaced every flag (Military and American flags). A truly beautiful day.

The big "V" in Honor section of our cemetery, just got a good washing. Head groundskeeper Jerry Kress made sure it was cleaned before the Veterans day Program event happens at 2pm today. All active, retired and family and friends of veterans are welcomed.
