ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE
The Board of Trustees was very sorry that the tree lighting ceremony had to be canceled due to very bad weather. It could not be rescheduled due to the number of people involved. Please watch your television, cellphone, etc. for this information We had over 500 hundred people on our board that were being remembered by their loved ones. Was a great tribute this year.

SUPPORTERS
“Thanks” are not enough to say for your continued support!!!! Please know how much you are appreciated Attached is a list of all 2014 donors. If a name is missing or misspelled, please forgive us. Again, thank you so very much!!!!!!!!! CURRENTLY AT MT. ADNAH
We have had a lot of ice, wind and snow this year, so there will be a lot of clean-up. Dave Smith, our superintendent, will make sure everything is in great shape by Memorial Day. Dave does a great job maintaining the cemetery all year around. |
AN APPEAL
2014 was a challenging year financially. It became apparent that the main roof on the office building needed to be replaced before a heavy winter. We had a qualified roofing contractor replace the roof at a cost of $8,580. Luckily, we had the roof replaced last fall. The Trustees are really grateful to all of you who support the cemetery in so many ways. We work hard to keep everyone aware of the cemetery’s ongoing effort to have good maintenance and appearance and you all help us do that. We are asking that if you are able to help defray the cost of the roof replacement by making a donation to the cemetery, you would. Thank you. Please mark the attached sheet for “roof”. |
FUTURE PLANS
The Road Building Fund continues to grow slowly. It will be a long time before there is enough money for more paving. Please continue to support this fund with your very generous donations. Thank you very much. The Cremation Garden has been completed by the Preservation Foundation. It is beautiful. Thank you. |
ANNUAL MEETING
The annual meeting for the Board of Trustees will be on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at 7:00 pm at the cemetery house. All lot owners are invited to attend. |
