<DIV>Historic Cemetery Volunteer Corps Seeks Members</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just in time for Memorial Day, the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is recruiting for the newly-formed Historic Cemetery Volunteer Corps. The Corps will be made up of individuals who will receive training on how to care for historic cemeteries and then make themselves available to volunteer in their local historic cemeteries. The free training is available online and can be completed in about an hour or less. Trained volunteers with the Corps will be connected with local groups who would like help in preserving their historic cemeteries.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>“The Historic Cemetery Volunteer Corps is a great and easy way for those interested in historic cemetery preservation to learn valuable skills and help others with their cemetery projects,” explains Kuri Gill, coordinator of the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oregon Heritage, a division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, also has several Heritage Bulletins available that provide guidance for preserving historic cemeteries. Topics include how to clean cemetery markers properly, avoiding and responding to vandalism, and a sampling of common Oregon gravestone symbols.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
