Clean Up at Historic Oakland Cemetery
Thank you to several ADNA members who showed up on Saturday to clean sites in Historic Oakland Cemetery! Although it was warm, there were many huge shade trees that survived the tornado. This was a very well organized and thoughtfully designed volunteer project. And, there is still a lot of work to be done! Please consider signing up for their 2nd volunteer day, Saturday, August 9. They need 100 volunteers to work from 8:30 am until noon. Pre-register by sending an email to kkuharic@oaklandcemetery.com
The Foundation will provide refreshments, restroom facilities, maps, first aid kits, trash bags, and staff to direct the project. They ask that you provide your own heavy work gloves and wear close-toed shoes.
