LYNDONVILLE – Volunteers are welcome to help set wreaths on 445 graves of veterans in Lyndonville on Dec. 14 during Wreaths Across America.
Volunteers are welcome to a complimentary brunch from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 14 at the Webber Café on Main Street. Then there will be a wreath-laying ceremony at Lynhaven Cemetery.
The 445 wreaths will be placed at veterans’ graves for six cemeteries in Lyndonville: Lynhaven, Yates Baptist Cemetery, Angling Road, Marshall Road and Greenman Road as well as the Robin Hill Estate.
The wreaths are funded by an endowment created by Anna Steliano’s family. Stelianou funded the effort in honor of her five brothers who served in WWII and the Korean War.

“Our chapter is committed to the mission of the American Legion of enhancing the well-being of America’s veterans, families and military, as well as enhancing relations in our community,” said Steve Goodrich, the Legion commander.
