Summer Update 2011

June 27, 2011 - Hello everyone

We have just posted some news on the work that is underway this year - you can access the details in the 2011 Restoration and also the 2011 News menus on the left.

We expect to have a great summer.   Some news for you:

 

We have hired a summer student for 8 weeks - Carolyn MacDonald - the daughter of Gene “Bornish” MacDonald, and who has ancestors buried in the cemetery.  She will help us in many areas over the summer, and look forward to having her.  Be sure to say "hello", if you drop by the cemetery.

Stone restorations are underway, as documented in the restoration section.  This task is very challenging as the stones are extremely damaged.

Grounds improvements.  We continue on the progress made last year, with planting, maintenance and some more clearing work.  Eventually, you will be able to sit at a bench in the cemery and have a nice ocean view as well!
