Trust Fund
We are very excited to
announce that we have reached our goal of $50,000 in our Trust Fund for
future maintenance of the cemetery. You continue to be so generous in
your support. We have hired Greg Hall to be the caretaker, and you will
notice all his work next time you visit. He has been hauling dirt and
compost to level low spots and has sowed lots of grass seed. We are so
fortunate to have a person who sees what needs to be done and does it.
He has been working many extra hours to get things into shape and then
it is our intention to have him work about 20 hours per month.
You Did It!!!!!
