Large Pre-Registration for Wreaths Across America Event Scheduled December 19th

The members of Signal Hill, NSDAR of Barrington are elated with the generous outpouring of interest in the upcoming Wreaths Across America wreath placement event scheduled for Saturday, December 19, 2020 at Evergreen Cemetery, 610 S. Dundee Avenue, Barrington, IL.

Due to the current state and local pandemic guidelines, the event is being controlled by pre-registration of volunteers, so that masks, social distancing, and other outdoor logistics can be observed. While the cemetery grounds are quite large, it has been determined that no more than 250 wreath-laying individuals can be safely accommodated at the event at any one time. We currently are pre-registering on the website listed below; including civic groups, company groups, friends and family. Should we reach capacity, we encourage you to register for a nearby event at Huntley Cemetery, Huntley, IL; Lake Zurich Cemetery, Lake Zurich, IL; or Windridge Memorial Park, Cary, IL, so that you can participate in this national event.

If you wish to participate in our Barrington event, please visit https://WreathsAcrossAmerica.org/ILEGCA and pre-register yourself and any companions. We will attempt to accommodate walk up participants, but pre-registered volunteers will have priority. Wreath laying on individual graves will be monitored for social distancing, and masks will be required on all participants. The event begins at noon, rain/snow or shine, and will continue until all Veterans' graves have been honored.
