Hoping everyone had a happy and safe Christmas holiday! Our board is a 501.3c non-profit. Any donations received are deductable at tax time. We are currently in the process of trying to get donations to repair some of the road up at Springdale Cemetery. We have a quote for $7000 to get this repair done. Anyone wishing to make a donation to help aid in this cost can visit our website at www.friendsofclintoniowacemeteries.org These repairs are necessary to help maintain this cemetery and to make I easier for loved ones visiting graves in that section along with helping our local funeral homes with being able to access this location without damaging vehicles. Please help us reach our goal!
