The annual Camellia Gardens Memorial Service - which pays tribute to deceased members of Team Robins - will take place May 23 at 10 a.m. in the tranquil garden across from the Horizons Event Center.

The service, a moving, patriotic tribute to the departed, is a 37-year tradition. The garden memorializes the dead by celebrating their lives. At the garden's entrance, a brick and mortar wall displays gold plaques with the names of more than 1,600 deceased military and civilian members from Robins who were honored in past ceremonies.

This year's ceremony is a project of the Team Robins Company Grade Officer Council and the Robins Chapel. For more information about the ceremony, call Staff Sgt. Karriem Oliver at 926-2821.
