"John King and Michael Leee Anderson continued preservation efforts at the "OBG" Thursday, September 7th, 2023.
We were able to repair and straighten four gravestones."
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remember we have a website!
"A website has been created to highlight our preservation efforts and to use as a vehicle to provide more information about the OBG."
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Join us next time and hopefully we can continue to make repairs to the stones we flagged for repair in our August session."

"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."
"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.
***************
"Donations can be made payable to the Greenfield Historical Society and include a note that it is for the cemetery project. Thanks for the support."
