Polo Women’s Club participates in wreath ceremony

Polo Women’s Club participated in the annual wreath ceremony held at Fairmount Cemetery on Nov. 6. Club member Pat Kuhn crafted a remembrance wreath, featuring a tribute to Gold Star families, that was placed at the Cross of the Unknown. The ceremony honors lost servicemen and women whose remains have not yet returned home, those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and all those who have served. Present at the ceremony were dual members of the American Legion Post 83 and VFW Post 8455, namely American Legion Commander and VFW Junior Vice Commander Mardi Rahn; American Legion and VFW Adjutant and Veterans Assistance Commission of Ogle County Interim Superintendent Becky Davis; American Legion Post Past Commander, 13th District and 32nd Division Judge Advocate Cynthia Reynolds; and VFW Commander James Reynolds. PWC Members attending were Pat Kuhn, Marianne Cimino, Virginia Snodgrass, Kay Tyne and Sheila Dean. The brief ceremony consisted of a prayer read by Commander Rahn.
