Trees were planted in time for the Memorial Day Service. Open
Water gave a big discount on the trees and the planting, and made a
special effort to have them planted by Memorial Day. The trees
line the north and south sides of rows 4 and 5. Doug Green
from the Parks Dept and his crew placed drip lines to all the trees.
Also a solar light on the flag was installed by Jim
Kinninger. Many thanks to everyone who helped to make the
Cemetery look great for Memorial Day. There were many comments
by all attending on how nice it looked.
9. Treasurer’s
report: $5787. The purchase of the trees is not
deducted.
10.
As a result of the trees being planted, it
was brought to the attention of Laura
Thrailkill, the
head of the Cemetery for SVAC, that some of the trees
may
inadvertently have been planted on grave sites. Anyone who has
a problem with a tree being planted close to or on their grave site
should attend the next meeting or contact
SVAC.
11.
Complaints from Smith Valley members regarding our cemetery need to
be addressed to the Smith Valley Advisory Council in writing for the
problem to be handled. The Director of the Cemetery Board
of the SVAC is the only official governing body for the
Cemetery.
