Girl Scouts of Hawaii need your help to honor fallen veterans this Memorial Day
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The Girl Scouts of Hawaii are asking for help preparing lei for veterans’ graves at the state cemetery in Kaneohe.
As they prepare for Memorial Day on May 27, the scouts will be accepting flower donations and help with sewing lei at Windward Mall on May 25th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Suggested donations include plumeria blossoms, bougainvillea, stephanotis, and crown flowers. Stalks of hardy tropical flowers, such as torch ginger and heliconia, will also be accepted (24 inches maximum).
