A big thanks to everyone who came and helped clean up the Spruce Grove Cemetery. It is looks very nice. It was lots of work and we had lots of worker bees. It’s amazing what all our volunteers did in two hours.

I’ve already received many compliments on how nice it looks and I want to pass those complements on to each of our volunteers who joined us May 26. You did a great job. Thank you.
