Volunteers are Needed      
 
The 36th Annual Conference of the Association for Gravestone Studies will be held at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon on June 18-23.  If you are interested in volunteering to help, there will be a volunteer meeting on Friday, April 26th at Oregon State Parks, 725 Summer Street, NE in room 124B at 9:30.  If you are unable to come, but would like to help contact Judy Juntunen, rycraftjuntunen at aol.com.
Conference week is packed with interesting tours, classroom sessions, lectures, and workshops.  Since this is the first AGS conference in the West since 1999, a number of sessions and lectures focus on the west from the keynote address about Chinese immigrants in Oregon to a film and discussion of the community history in Portland’s Jewish cemeteries to the influence of Euro-American culture on tribes in Northeastern Oregon.
Of concern to all of us is what we can do to protect our cemeteries from vandalism. The defense and response to vandalism is the topic for both a classroom session and an evening lecture.  Need help in your cemetery, there is a session focusing on how to engage public participation in caring for cemeteries. 
The classroom session of the Cemetery Preservation/Conservation will be offered twice—morning and afternoon—on Thursday.  Even if you don’t want to do the fieldwork portion of this workshop on Friday, there will be lots of valuable information in this session. 
More information is available on the Association for Gravestone Studies website, http://www.gravestonestudies.org/conferences.htm  Registration forms can also be found on the website.  Registration is due by Wednesday, May 15, 2013.  Late registrations will be charged an additional fee.
