State historic cemeteries commission seeks new member
 
The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is seeking a volunteer to
fill one open position. 
 
The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is comprised of seven
citizens and is empowered by the legislature to develop and maintain a
listing of all pioneer and historic cemeteries in Oregon; to make
recommendations for funding, obtain grants funding, seek legislative
appropriations for historic cemeteries, and to assist in the
coordination of restoration, renovation and maintenance of historic
cemeteries statewide.


The group meets four times per year in changing locations around the
state. There may be an occasional additional meeting for extra projects,
programs and grant selection. Commissioners are also asked to provide
informal meetings in their regions and work on other projects outside of
meeting time.
 
The commission is particularly seeking a representative from the
central or north areas of the East side of the state, but all are
encouraged to apply. Please apply before December 6. 
 
The state historic cemeteries program, a part of Oregon Parks and
Recreation Department, maintains a list of Oregon’s historic cemeteries
and offers a variety of educational, financial and technical resources
for those working to preserve them. Details are available online at
www.oregonheritage.org or by contacting commission coordinator Kuri Gill
at Kuri.Gill at state.or.us, or by phone at 503-986-0685.
