Letter: Thanks to Scouts for cleanup help at cemetery

Thanks to Scouts for cleanup help at cemetery

Lisa Henderson and her scouts came to visit our local cemetery, Spruce Grove in Kasilof, on June 1. The scouts did some clean up work and were very helpful and added to the clean up efforts of all the volunteers. A big thank you to each of you from Kasilof Cohoe Cemetery Association and from the families who have loved ones in our cemetery. You did a great job boys!
