: Membership Fees and Other Ways to Help

Our Annual Fees (not prorated), are $25 a year.

We  hear “How can I help?” quite a lot –

1  Volunteer.

2  Donate Money or Supplies.  It’s mostly spent on gas for the mower !  If you are interested in donating to this worthy cause, Association Fees are $25 per year. Of course, we will accept more if you are so inclined 🙂  We are recognized by the IRS.

a.  If interested in mailing in a membership form with a check, click letter-to-prospective-new-members-1.

b.  PayPal.  A lot of people think you have to have a PayPal account to donate.  You don’t !  Simply follow the instructions on the very first screen under “Don’t have a PayPal account?” and you’re done !

c.  Donate goods and services.  Somebody’s at the cemetery quite a lot, but if we’re not there, just leave under the historical marker and give us a call at 737.781.0629:

1  Water for the Water Barrel.  When you visit, bring a gallon or two, and pour it straight through the lid or leave it under the sign.

2  Paint supplies such as 1-inch brushes, 2-inch brushes, clean towels/rags/bedsheets, painter’s tape.

3  Round Up for Brush and Ivy, or equivalent.  Personally we like 20% Vinegar (which is NOT the kitchen kind, and can be found at Lowe’s) it costs about the same but kills quicker.

4  Cleaning supplies — soft-bristle toothbrushes, ammonia, strong trash bags,  paper towels

5  We seem to perpetually have a brush pile.  Removal, even in small increments, would be much appreciated.

6  Garden Tools, gas-powered or manual (there is no electricity).  If you’d like to donate your old WORKING lawn mower, we’ll take it.  Same for gas powered edger, trimmer, chain saw.

7  Trash detail along the fence.

8  If someone RUDELY left a shopping cart, please take it back to the store.

9  If you are a nearby business, when we are cleaning up, please allow us to run an extension cord from the cemetery to your place of business, as there is no electricity.

10  Bring by food and (especially) drink during our “Semi-Annual Clean Up Daze”

d.  Be our eyes and ears.  Call the authorities if you see suspicious activity at the cemetery.

Thanks !
