MEMORIAL DAY
It's time for Memorial Day planning again. We have used all of the donated military funeral flags given to us in the past several years. We welcome your gifts of casket flags from any and all United States military actions. Please put a note with veteran's name, service branch, and years served with the flag. You can call me at 330-657-2064 and we can arrange a pickup or drop off the flag.
If you are planning to be in the "Memorial Day Parades" or having a group march, you MUST call me and confirm your participation. 330-657-2064.
At 9:00AM in the Township's service garage (old fire station) Valley Fire will be providing doughnuts and coffee.
There will be a brief service at the Memorial Grove at the Peninsula Library at 10:00AM. This service commemorates the service of former staff, board members, and friends of the Peninsula Library who have passed away.
The parade will step off in Peninsula at the corner of Riverview and Main Street at 11:00AM. Following the service at Cedar Grove the next stop is Boston where we will reconvene at the old Boston Community Church before heading to the Boston Cemetery on Main Street. Light refreshments will be available at the church. This is a good time to take a brief break and visit with your friends and neighbors. If you are participating in the first parade, please plan on attending BOTH parades.
I also need the names of any of our residents who are past or present veterans, Woodridge alumni included. Please call with your name, rank, branch of service, and where they are serving. 330-657-2064. Please remember no dogs are allowed in either cemetery.
