Well all the flags are now out on the known veteran's graves. It was a bigger undertaking than I thought, but well worth it. Thanks to all our veteran's past and present.

Well it's finally done, all the flags are out at the veteran's graves that I am aware of. That is a bigger undertaking than I thought it would be. But well worth it. Thanks to all our veterans past and present.

Another year is upon us, and mowing session is just around the corner. As a reminder all ground decorations must be removed by March the 8th, 2026. Any ground decorations left we will start removing them on March 9th, 2026. This is our standard operating procedure in preparation for the first mowing, and all ground decorations must remain off the ground during mowing session except for the Memorial Day Holiday then one week before to one week after Memorial Day ground decorations are allowed. Ground decorations are allowed from November 1 to March 1.

A KEY HOLDER WAS FOUND IN THE CEMETERY AND IT DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY OF OUR RESIDENTS. THE HOLDER HAS A NAME ON IT. CALL THE CEMETERY AND IDENTIFY THE NAME ON THE HOLDER AND DESCRIBE IT AND IT IS YOURS.

As we turn from the no less solemn duties of the Memorial Day events, we must be reminded that all ground decorations must be removed by June 2, 2025 so the mowers can continue to maintain our cemetery in the way we all want to see it being cared for. The requirement for the ground decoration removal is one way we are able to control the cost of mowing, and that is why we are so strict with this rule we have in our cemetery. Please understand this and help us keep the cost as low as we possibly can.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS.

Memorial Day 2025 - To all the family and friends of the loved ones gone before us, THANKS for visiting and respecting our cemetery. We have worked hard against the weather with all the rain and wind to have it in GREAT shape for this respected day. We also want to give a HEART FELT THANK YOU to all who so gracefully donated to support our cemetery. It really does help in the maintenance and upkeep. We also want to acknowledge the American Legion for the flag display they set up this morning it really looks beautiful, and it helps to honor our men and women still in uniform that paid the ultimate price while in the service of our country.

THANK YOU EACH AND EVERYONE AND MAY GOD BLESS ALL ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY 2025.
