Cemetery Adoptions

VIEW ON BLOG

Kudos to Kathy and Leo for once again mowing and raking the grassy area along the Olive Street frontage of the cemetery.

The cemetery has a regular monthly mowing and weed-whacking service. This keeps the grass, weeds and small bits of tree detritus cleared in all the open areas and paths within the fenced area.

However, over the past 2 years, there had been a heavy accumulation of leaves and twigs in the enclosed areas the big mowers could not reach. Our recent community cemetery cleanup was a big success as you can see from an earlier post.

In order to not let things get out of hand again, several of the participants volunteered  to adopt an enclosed family plot as their own to keep in good form - a labor of dedication and civic pride that should not take more than 2 to 3 hours a year - at most!

We thank you, one and all.

The yellow squares on the map designate a few sections left for adoption as well as a call for someone to adopt the fence to keep down the weeds and a flag monitor to keep the base area clean and the flag fresh and at half mast on national days of mourning.
