May 11th at 8:30am
Event Date: 
Saturday, May 11, 2024 - 8:30am

To all of our Committee Members and Volunteers,

    We are planning our grounds cleanup at the town cemeteries, at 8:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 11, 2024.

We will be, at the Hammondtown Cemetery, on River Road and Barlow Lane cemeteries in Mattapoisett.

The large tree pruning work will be completed by that time. (Please meet at the Hammond cemetery on River Road).

 

This is in preparation for the formal dedication of our Revolutionary War dead at both Hammond and Barlow cemeteries, in 2025, as a nationally recognized site, by the Sons of the American Revolution.

 

We are trying to complete all of  this prior to the 250th. Anniversary of the Revolutionary War, in, 2026.

 

This work will be all ground work, that will involve, weeding/ bush pruning and general cleanup. Please bring whatever equipment you may have.!!! A dumpster will be on site for disposal of the debris.

    If you know of anyone that can help us, we are still in the process of looking for someone to reposition multiple gravestones that have fallen over.

 

Please feel free to forward this e mail to any of you friends, children, or  neighbors, who you think might be interested in helping.!!!!!!

 

Thanks in advance for your invaluable help with this project.
