"How Can YOU Help?"
"Join us for an upcoming volunteer session.
You can stay as long as you like.
We will help you get started if you have not participated previously.
Tasks range from cleaning stones, straightening stones, recording information, etc.
We post our scheduled sessions on the GHS website calendar and through communications such as this email.: jfking@earthlink.net
**If you are unable to attend a session and still want to help, donations are always welcome as we do have to purchase gravel and other supplies for cleaning and repairing the gravestones.
