Rose Hill Clean-up Day set
May 16, 2026
Volunteers are needed for a Rose Hill Cemetery Clean-Up Day on Saturday, May 16. The Perpetual Care Cemetery Board is asking for volunteers to arrive anytime after 9 a.m. with their work clothes. Members of the Twentieth Century Club, the DAR, and the City will be pitching in.
If possible, try to park on the back side of the cemetery, using the parking area at the old Senior Center at 803 E Rush. We need volunteers to bring tools such as weedeaters, snippers, rakes, and more. Don't forget your gloves, hats, sunglasses, and possibly a lawn chair for taking a break. It is suggested everyone planning to stay for an extended period bring a sack lunch, snack, and plenty of drinking water.
Hope to see everyone in their work clothes ready to work.
