SUMMARY:Wreaths Across America
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 16\, volunteers from across WNY will gather at Lakeside Cemetery to lay wreaths at the graves of U.S. military veterans in the Field of Valor section at each cemetery. It’s all part of a national program called Wreaths Across America \nWreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine wreath maker Morrill Worcester in 1992. \nThe organization’s yearlong mission – REMEMBER the fallen\, HONOR those that serve\, TEACH the next generation the value of freedom – is carried out\, in part\, each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies in December at thousands of participating locations in all 50 states and beyond. Here’s a brief video that provides an overview of the Wreaths Across America program: Wreaths Across America \nSince 2008\, Congress proclaims a Saturday in December as National Wreaths Across America Day. Some statistics about last year’s national program… \n2.7 million veterans’ wreaths were placed in total across the country.\nMore than two million volunteers participated at 3\,702 locations nationwide. More than a third of the volunteers were children.\nAt Arlington National Cemetery specifically\, 68 tractor trailers delivered over 257\,000 veterans’ wreaths that were placed by nearly 28\,000 volunteers.\n644 loads of wreaths were delivered across the country by hundreds of volunteer\, professional truck drivers driving donated equipment and fuel from approximately 296 transportation partners \nThis year’s Wreaths Across America Day is Saturday\, Dec. 16. And we’re honored that a local veterans organization\, Whirlwind Veterans and Warrior Retreat has once again selected St. Matthew’s Cemetery and Lakeside Cemetery (as well as two other local cemeteries) as Western New York’s Wreaths Across America sites. \nWe encourage all who are interested to attend either the St. Matthews or Lakeside event—or both—to show your support and to pitch in with the wreath placement.  It’s a wonderful way to REMEMBER the fallen\, HONOR those who serve and TEACH the next generation the value of freedom!

SUMMARY:Historic Chapel at Forest Hill Cemetery to be Rededicated
DESCRIPTION:Ceremony to mark the successful completion of collaboration between Attica Landmark Preservation Society and Forest Hill Cemetery to stabilize and restore iconic structure.\nSaturday\, May 23 – 11:00 a.m.\nForest Hill Cemetery Chapel\n40 High Street\nAttica\, NY 14001\nFittingly\, during Memorial Day weekend\, the community of Attica will gather for a special ceremony to rededicate the historic chapel in Forest Hill Cemetery. The ceremony will mark the successful completion of an ambitious project to stabilize and restore the iconic structure\, led by the Attica Landmark Preservation Society and Forest Hill Cemetery\, and made possible through the support of many community residents and business owners in the Village of Attica. \nBuilt in 1902\, before the existence of funeral homes\, the Chapel long served as the place where funerals and memorials were held in Forest Hill. Given the Chapel’s location near the center of the cemetery\, the building became its focal point\, emerging as a space for a variety of community gatherings\, weddings\, and other social events such as Memorial Day\, and Veterans Day celebrations\, and more. \nHowever\, over time\, the structure deteriorated badly\, prompting the Attica Landmark Preservation Society (ALPS)\, as stewards of the historic building\, to work with the Forest Lawn Cemetery Group\, which acquired Forest Hill Cemetery in 2023. The two organizations collaborated on a plan to stabilize and restore the Chapel and chart the course for its preservation\, including raising the $200\,000 in funds necessary. \nClick here for more information
