Description

ATTENTION!!!! Due to the impending weather predicted for Sarasota this Saturday and Sunday, we have postponed all wreath laying and our ceremony. This very difficult decision was based on the National Weather Service Warnings and Alerts for heavy rainfall, gale force winds, frequent lightning (which will have the potential of suspending ALL activities and evacuating everyone on the grounds), flooding, travel visibility along with potential tornadic activity in the Sarasota area. Please stay tuned - I will announce new dates and times for wreath laying by Saturday evening.
