If anyone can help, the cemetery needs volunteers on Saturday May 23rd. This is in addition to helping with the Avenue of Flags on Thursday May 21st at 8:30.

Please save the date! Our annual "Flags-In" preparation in advance of our Memorial Day ceremony will be at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 23rd.

⭐We ask all volunteers interested in helping us to meet at 7:30 a.m. at the bottom of the entrance hill near sections A and B. Cemetery Staff will be in the area for directions. No pre-registration to volunteer is necessary.

Volunteers may wish to bring a screwdriver (or similar tool) to help them poke holes in the ground for easier flag placement. Thank you for helping us prepare our grounds for our Memorial Day ceremonies.
