KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — In a heartwarming tradition that embodies the true spirit of community and compassion, Kelseyville Girl Scout Troop No. 10145 took the lead in organizing and hosting the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony at Kelseyville Cemetery on Saturday, Dec. 16, at 9 a.m.
For the eighth consecutive year, the troop, known for its dedication to service, collaborated with local businesses, friends, family, 4-H groups and fellow scouting organizations to continue the mission of remembering, honoring and teaching.
This year's event held a special significance as the troop not only hosted the ceremony but also organized it, showcasing their growing commitment to the cause.
The ceremony, filled with heartfelt moments, saw children from the troop taking center stage as they delivered poignant speeches and served as emcees.
“The mission here is to ‘Remember, Honor and Teach.’ What better way to learn than to do, and that's just what our kids are doing," said event coordinator Allison Panella.
The youth speakers for the ceremony included Mariana Rivas, Audrey Panella, Quinn Siefert, Chandler Johnson and Emily Anderson, representing not just the troop but also the broader community, with participants from Big Valley 4-H joining hands with Kelseyville Girl Scout Troop No. 10145 and No. 10490.
What sets the Kelseyville event apart is the active participation of children in every aspect, from organizing to leading the ceremony.
Following the moving tribute, all 13 troop members from Girl Scout Troop 10145 embarked on an inspiring act of kindness by shopping for every child currently residing at the Kelseyville Shelter.
“Today was a day of service and reflection for our troop. I am so impressed with the compassion and leadership every one of our girls poses; they are truly inspiring,” said Troop Leader Miasha Rivas.
The troop's goal for the year is to place wreaths on all 515 veteran graves at Kelseyville Cemetery, and they are inviting the community to join hands and hearts in this mission.
Sponsorship opportunities are available, and community members are encouraged to participate in the wreath-laying activity following the ceremony.
To be a part of this heartwarming tradition, sponsor a wreath, or contribute to the troop's mission, please visit Wreaths Across America - Kelseyville Cemetery or contact Allison Panella.
