Upcoming Workshop • Friday, March 9 Keeping Cemeteries Alive! Preserving Headstones and Monuments with Jessie Lasorda, Rediscovered History and Loretta Stanaway, Memorial Minders Learn more and register on our website.
Cemeteries contain an abundance of historical information, but those stories can be lost if the cemetery is in disarray. The speakers will discuss the importance of preserving, maintaining, and enhancing cemeteries. Participants will learn how to establish a “friend group” for preservation and relationships with governing agencies for the purpose of maintenance. Participants can “attend” remotely, if they prefer. See our website for full details. Learn more and register on our website.
