Volunteers Clean Up EG Historical Cemeteries 12 and 18

From the EG Historical Cemetery Commission:

On Saturday, May 16 community volunteers in partnership with the East Greenwich Historical Cemetery Commissioners convened to continue to restore two Rhode Island Historical Cemeteries – Town of East Greenwich #12 and #18.

Middle school and high school students outnumbered the adult volunteers! These esteemed volunteers were fulfilling community service requirements or simply volunteering their time.

The commission is grateful to: at Cemetery #12 led by commissioner Jason Beaumier, Joanne Balzano, Adam Bikash, Alex Bikash, Jean Eller, Luke Eller, Mark Formisano, Stephen Heaney, Collin Heaney and Emersyn Nutting; and at Cemetery #18 led by commissioner Gene Dumas, Madison Kalk, Morgan Pedro, Stasha Roskowski, Steve Roskowski, Wendy Roskowski, Margaret Modrigue and Robin Wittwer.

There is one more Saturday from 9-12 earmarked for spring cemetery cleanup: June 20. Please email egcemeteryvolunteer@gmail.com if you are interested in signing up so the Commission can plan site projects based on volunteer interest. You will then receive an email about 7 days before the cleanup date with details as to specific historic cemetery site assignment and necessary instructions.
