In preparation for this year’s Wreaths Across America Program (Saturday, December 13, 2025), the Jockey Hollow Chapter will be assisting the Ferro Monte Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution in cleaning some of the graves that will be marked with wreaths later. This event will take place:
If you have never cleaned graves before, it’s a very rewarding process and the results are often quite specular. All chapter members are encouraged to attend. For further information, please contact us.
