[or-roots] Historic Cemeteries and upcoming Memorial Day

[SAWYER, Layne G]

Les,

I think the purpose of the volunteer corps is to create an "cadre" of folks who can be called upon for assistance by local communities when they need some "expertise".  So if you wanted to volunteer at a cemetery in another part of the state you could offer assistance there if you chose to.

Enjoy your visit with the "relatives" on the 20th.  I hope you have nice weather for the clean-up.

Regards,

Layne

Thanks Layne, I suppose I should sign up though I might be heading in a different direction in the near future. On that note the Gardiner cemetery volunteers are doing clean up Sunday May 20th. I am sort of obliged to show up since one way or another I am related to about an eighth of the people buried there.

OR-rooters,



I thought this might be of interest to some of you as we often have discusssions about cemeteries….





HISTORIC CEMETERY VOLUNTEER CORPS SEEKS MEMBERS



Just in time for Memorial Day, the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is recruiting for the newly-formed Historic Cemetery Volunteer Corps. After completing free training on historic cemetery care, the Corps will make themselves available to volunteer in their local historic cemeteries. The online training will take about an hour or less. Trained Corps volunteers will also make connections with local groups who would like help in preserving their historic cemeteries.



For more information about the Historic Cemetery Volunteer Corps and to view cemetery preservation Heritage Bulletins, visit www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org>.
