Staff Report
Cliff Edwards sent a written staff report stating
1) We need to change the dates on the street banners for Memorial Day and Walk Back in
Time. Rich Lindsay will have it done in house.
2) He wanted to know if the "Cemetery Rules & Regulations" are done yet. They are not.
3) Has the "Code" for board members been finalized yet? They are not finished yet.
Old Business
The Memorial Day Committee will continue to meet every first Monday.
The notes from the February 2, 2015 were presented.
Peggy and Joan need cemetery badges, Jerry will follow up.
We will make labels to upgrade our brochures in house.
New Business
The sum of $300.00 was approved for the sound system on Memorial Day and will be paid
for out of the 130 fund.
Rich got the cemetery in the Dex book at no increase in price.
A survey is necessary to verify the location of old graves as many were done long ago without
recording their location. Funding will be sought.
Susan and Craig Cyr requested that we continue to investigate "green burials" and we shall
do so.
Announcements
One more board member is needed and it will be announced at the Memorial Day Ceremony
by the emcee.
It was noted by all members and Rich that Cynthia Cruz is highly valued and respected for
her competency and hard work.
