A super thanks to Dr John Irle and Steve Caulfield for cutting down and removing two VERY big dead trees in the CGC over the last few weeks. That's one of the trees still standing in the picture below; it's on the north side and next to the Danville Rd. That's Dr Irle with his chainsaw at the bottom. He also cut back a hedge row of privet and vines on the east side recently.

The other picture shows the tree on the ground and the stump is about 4' in diameter. The other tree was near the middle of the cemetery; Steve cut that one into smaller pieces and moved them out next to the road for the City to pickup.

And we should also note there was no damage to any of the gravestones. Thank you Gentlemen!

The Boy Scouts are cleaning up leaves on Dec 7 from 8-12. If you'd like to help please bring a rake and come on out.

As a reminder there will be a Wreaths Across America event at the cemetery on December 14 at 10am as described in a previous post.
