Wreaths Across America

Please join members and friends of The Rotary Club of Houston as we participate in our annual “Holiday Wreaths for Veterans” service project on Saturday, December 16, 2023 from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.  For the fourth year now, The Rotary Club of Houston has partnered with “Wreaths Across America-Houston” to place holiday wreaths on the headstones of our fallen veterans at Houston National Cemetery.  Once again, we are honored to join forces with our fellow Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Greater Houston Veterans in Sections P, I and E of the National Cemetery (marked by green arrows on the attached map), along with Sections A, S3 and S2 (marked by blue arrows).  

Bring your family and friends to this memorable holiday event.
