[HistoricCemeterieslistserv] Applications for historic cemetery grants

[Sharon Umpleby]

Good morning Kuri,
Thank you for the information regarding grants.
North Powder Cemetery Maintenance District has a small building project
that could fit into some of the categories you mentioned.
Could you please confirm that we are a qualifying "Historic Cemetery"  -
we did receive a grant from you 10 or more years ago, so I believe that we
do qualify, but would appreciate confirmation before I apply.

Thank you again,
Sharon Umpleby
Bookkeeper etc.!!
