Volunteer
We would love to have your time!
Volunteers can be individuals or groups.
Board Members: 2-3 Meetings per year to make decisions regarding repairs and maintenance.
Mowers: 8-10 mowing sessions (2-3 hours each) from May thru September for an assigned section of the cemetery.
Leaf Blowing: Once a year in November. Anyone with a leaf blower can blow leaves into the road for a section of the cemetery. A hired vacuum truck will pick up and haul leaves to the compost site.
Plot and Grounds Maintenance: Commitment is to keep one or more plots maintained. This includes keeping the headstone upright, removing weeds, planting (if so desired). Each plot is a 15 ft. x 24 ft. section with 6 grave sites. Bring your own lopper, digger, etc. Great family activity.
Historians: Commitment to take a section of the cemetery and build a knowledge base about who is buried and then build linkage to the family members using social media, newspapers, etc.
Family Reconnection: Reconnect with your ancestors by maintaining your family burial. It is a great way to talk about the history of your family and to maintain a connection to past loved ones.
