The annual Camellia Gardens Memorial Service which pays tribute to deceased members of Team Robins will be held May 27 at 10 a.m. in the Tranquil Garden across from Horizons. The service is a 34-year tradition rooted in a partnership between Robins, the Middle Georgia Camellia Society, and the Warner Robins Chamber of Commerce. The three teamed up in 1976 to establish and dedicate the garden, which memorializes the dead by celebrating life. At the garden's entrance, the names are displayed of the 1,537 deceased military and civilian members of Robins who have been honored.
