Blue Star Memorial Project
The Blue Star & Gold Star Families Memorials project is sponsored by the National Garden Club and the California Garden Club. Garden Clubs that are part of these organizations can participate in this program.
The Blue Star Memorials program honors all men and women who serve in the United States Armed Services, honoring living members of the military.
The Gold Star Family Memorials program honors individual family members lost to service to our country.
LAVGC participates in the Blue Star Memorial program. It is up to the Club to determine when a work party is needed, typically done as a one- or two-day work party.
LAVGC Blue Star Memorial Participation History
Several years ago, the Club installed the memorial and surrounding garden at the at the Veteran's Hospital in Livermore. In 2023 LAVGC joined the state plaque restoration project by restoring the memorial plaque at the Veteran's hospital and also restored the garden area around the memorial. LAVGC used the new, less expensive process to restore the plaques that was developed by the San Clemente Garden Club.
