[HistoricCemeteries] Polk county meeting - how to arrange an event in your cemetery

[Kuri Gill]

Mark June 23rd 2009 on your calendar!  We will meet at 1 PM to Network on
Polk County Cemeteries at the Polk County Museum, 560 Pacific Hwy. (99W).
The museum is in the Southwest corner of the Polk County Fairgrounds.

For those who would like to "brown bag it" we will gather at Noon in Nesmith
Park Northwest of the Fairgrounds.  The weather should be nice by then and
you can take a look at the James A. Nesmith Family Cemetery on the banks of
LaCreole Creek.  Turn off Pacific Hwy. (99W) into the main road for the
Fairgrounds but make a quick left turn before you go thru the gate and
follow the road around to a parking area.  There are picnic tables, porta
potties and nature walks, too.

Invite others who have an interest in Historic Polk County Cemeteries.
Cemeteries need a lot of Friends to help preserve the sites and markers.

arranging an event in your cemetery.
