Vian Garden of Memories Cemetery cleanup day is April 19

Let’s make Vian Garden of Memories Cemetery beautiful! A cleanup day has been scheduled for Saturday, April 19, beginning at 8 a.m.

The cemetery board needs your help trimming tree limbs, moving limbs to trailer for haul off, removing old flowers, removing excess dirt from grave dig-outs, and raking out removed dirt.

Volunteers and those participating are asked to bring their own rakes, shovels and gloves.

Students can also earn volunteer hours, and the cemetery board members will sign off for scholarship applications.
