St. Mary Clean Up

The clean up date for St. Mary Cemetery will be Thursday May 10th at 5:30pm. Rain date for the clean up will be Friday at 5:30pm.

Please bring rakes and gloves. Tarps and/or a wheelbarrow could also be used. Mr. Neff will bring a chain saw and bow saw.

Clean up involves raking up pine cones and pine needles, picking up sticks, cutting up several large branches that are down, and removing deteriorating plastic flowers.

With enough help, clean up will take just a couple of hours. Please call (732-4051) or email Mr. Neff to let him know if you will be at the clean up. Calling everyone on the St. Mary's list will take time so your calls or emails would be appreciated.

Scouts will be reminded of the clean up date at the Wednesday meeting. There are currently 18 scout families signed up for St. Mary's and the sign up sheet will be at Wednesday's meeting.

Tuesday May 15th is the first planned mowing date for St. Mary's. Thursday May 17th is the rain date.
