Schoharie Chapter NSDAR bows out of Wreaths Across America Program

SCHOHARIE - The Schoharie Chapter NSDAR deeply regrets the difficult decision to leave the Wreaths Across America (WAA) program. Although the nationwide program has seen much success over the years, in our area we have struggled to manage the details of the program. Accessing distant cemeteries that may be closed for winter, heavy snows covering veteran graves, and the inability to have ceremonies due to weather are some of the reasons we have made this decision. 

Our sincere thanks go out to Coltrain Funeral Home, Mereness-Putnam Funeral Home, and the many people that have supported our efforts over the years. 

Mereness-Putnam Funeral Home will continue as a local sponsor. Any organization that is interested in becoming a Location Coordinator or local sponsor may contact Karen Simmons kjsimmons951@gmail.com  or Kathleen Slater kjs66@nycap.rr.com for WAA contact information.
