CLEANING HEADSTONES AT OAKLAND CEMETERY
ON SEPTEMBER 24TH AT 10:00 AM The Friends of Oakland Cemetery are going to host the second annual “Clean the Headstones Party” at the Historic Oakland Cemetery 1617 N. 15th Street across from Gunderson Funeral Home. We urge the public, church groups, Boy Scouts, service organizations, businesses, and other groups to join us for a couple of hours. We will provide the cleaning solution, spray bottles and brushes, all we need is extra elbow grease. There will be parking up on top of the hill from the main entrance. Any questions please call Rick Carle at 515-570-0606. Last year we were able to clean around 20 headstones. We hope we can do around the same amount this year. We look forward to seeing you there and helping us on this great cause.
