Poppy Chairman during May
sets up a memorial garden like a miniature Flanders Field in the Post Clubroom.
Members can for a small donation have a “Cross” or a “Star of David” placed
with the name of a loved one who has passed away on it. A poppy is also placed
in the garden with a flag by each “Cross” or “Star of David”.
This garden is created using
Styrofoam over a wood board with artificial grass over the Styrofoam. Crosses
are made with popsicle sticks painted white.
Poppy plates are also available for those wishing their name to be
placed on the plate and posted on the club room wall. These plates also contain
a flag, 3 poppies and the Auxiliary emblem.
