Wellington issues call to veterans

The village of Wellington has sent out a call to those people wishing to honor a veteran and have their name and service branch listed in the Memorial Day program, which is added to a pre-recorded roll call and listed on Ch. 18.
The deadline is May 15.

If you are an active or retired veteran attending the ceremony, you will have an opportunity to register the morning of the event at the village of Wellington tent and you will be recognized during the ceremony.

The Memorial Day parade, Monday, May 25, will begin at the Wellington Community Center, 12165 W. Forest Hill Blvd., at 8:45 a.m. and end at the Veterans Memorial located on the corner of West Forest Hill and Southshore boulevards. The Memorial Day Ceremony will begin at 9 a.m.
Call Community Projects Manager Nicole Evangelista at 561-791-4733 to add a veteran's name. She can also be e-mailed at nevangelista@ci.wellington.fl.us.
