Gather with fellow Tigers as we honor the 31 Clemson fallen in the line of action who are interred at Arlington Cemetery. The event will begin at the gravesite of Captain Mark Norman Stubenhofer ’96 at 11:00am. From there, groups will disperse to visit additional gravesites. We will reunite at 1:00pm at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider for a wreath laying ceremony.

Maps and walking directions will be given at the event. This event will happen rain or shine. Please dress for the weather as we will be outside for this event. This event is for Club Members and invited guests.

By January, the holiday spirit has lessened and the weather is colder. The 250,000+ holiday wreaths that were placed at Arlington National Cemetery in December are ready to be removed.  Coordinated by Wreaths Across America, this is an often overlooked volunteer opportunity.  Join the Clemson Club to help retrieve/remove wreaths as we honor veterans, their service and their final resting place.

This volunteer opportunity is open to everyone and many hands are needed to help!  

Hosted by Angie Paolozzi P’24 & Helen Bath P’23 at Angie’s home in Vienna, Virginia.

We would love to have you join us for a very casual evening of Clemson camaraderie! We’ll enjoy hors d’oeuvres and beverages, meet some great local Clemson moms, and assemble care packages for our Clemson students in time for a Valentine’s Day surprise.

Here’s how it works: Once we have a confirmed guest count, each person is asked to bring one item to contribute to the care packages.  For example, if we have 15 people joining, then you would bring 15 of one item (Rice Krispies treats, lip balm, ramen noodles, fuzzy socks … you get the idea!) and at the end of the night, you’ll walk away with a box full of goodies that you can mail to your Clemson student(s).

Sounds like fun,right?!
