• WAA is a 501 C3 charitable organization which means all donations are tax deductible. 

There will be a donation military boot for pocket change/monetary donations AND forms at every event in the center for those who wish to sponsor a wreath.  To use a credit card please visit the WAA web site and click on our fundraising page.  The cemetery number and group number MUST be on the page and the form to make sure your wreath is present for the ceremony in Novelty.
It all adds up, 25 cents becomes $1, $1 will become $15 which will equal one wreath sponsored for WAA.

There are  86 veterans in Novelty Cemetery

and 35 veterans in Locust Hill Cemetery.  We understand that it

may not be possible to place a wreath on each Veteran's grave, but we would

 like to honor all them during our ceremony.

Our wreath-laying ceremony will be held on  December 17, 2016,

 in the Novelty Cemetery. (weather permitting - it is N.E. Missouri after all.)  

There will be other arrangements made if the weather turns to inclimate to hold the ceremony outside.
