Fran Carlsen, Brunswick Town Chapter’s Wreaths Across America Chair and Phyllis Wilson, Brunswick Town Historian set up a display table for Wreaths Across America to make more people aware aware of this program at The Warrior Ride event on Oak Island on October 21st. We struggle every year to have people purchase a wreath to place on a grave of a fallen soldier at Wilmington National Cemetery. This Warrior Ride Program was publicized in newspapers, local newsletters, etc. Well, you often wonder who reads your newspaper articles, but Marcia Rowbottom, our DAR State Yearbook Chairman, who lives in Southern Pines, NC saw the article in The State Port Pilot that Fran and Phyllis would have a table at the Warrior Ride Event on October 21st from 9:00-4:00 at Middleton Park in Oak Island, NC. She and her husband drove down to visit the even and to visit Brunswick Town to plan an event later on next spring at Brunswick Town. It was wonderful to see Marcia again and to meet her husband.
