Vol. IV No. 19 9/8/2023
Help Clean Historic Headstones
Hi Carole,
We've had to revise and reduce the number of volunteer work dates for headstone cleaning. Could you reprint this notice in the Stockbridge Update Weekly? And thank you for including the picture of Tom LaBelle in the previous issue!
The new dates for volunteers to join in and help the cleanup are as follows:
September 11-14 and October 2-5
The hours will be 10 AM to 4 PM each day, weather permitting. Stay for all or part of a day!
The public (including children aged 12 and up) is invited to come and participate. No experience is necessary. Instructions will be given on site, and supplies will be provided. No sign-up is necessary but emailing intention to participate to ccurrie@stockbridge-ma.gov would be helpful.
On the day and time of your choice, go to the Stockbridge Cemetery Main Street entrance for assignment. Work attire and gloves are recommended. Thank you in advance for helping preserve old Stockbridge history!
Sincerely, Vice Chair Cemetery Commission
