October Cemetery Clean Up

October’s Cemetery Clean-up day has several projects we are hoping to accomplish with your help.
Projects include: mowing the grounds; trimming around headstones and fences; filling holes with dirt; picking up sticks on grounds and along 96th Street; blowing grass cuttings off headstones.
We will have a mower, a trimmer, a push mower and gas on-site but if you’d like to bring your own equipment to use, feel free. There will also be some shovels, rakes, a wheelbarrow, trash bags, buckets, and pruning tools on-site.
Free drinks and snacks will be provided.
Whether this will be your first time volunteering or you are one of the regulars, we look forward to seeing you!!
Each one of us can make a difference.
Together we make change -BM
