Hi Friends of the Cem,

The 2023 Memorial Day Clean-Up is coming up!

We have scheduled the annual post-Memorial Day Clean-up for the following days:
1. The evening of Wednesday, June 7th.
2. The evening of Thursday, June 8th.
3. The morning of Saturday, June 10th.

Add it to your calendar to volunteer your time to help the Cem.

Last year we had almost two hundred (200) volunteers help clean up, recycle plastic, and compost green materials!
And seven (7) tons of green waste and two (2) tons of plastic were diverted from the landfill through these efforts.

Hope to see you there!
