The Clapp's Factory Cemetery Preservation League, Inc., will hold a membership meeting, beginning at 3 pm on Saturday, August 7, 2004, in Columbus, GA. The site of the meeting will be announced soon. We would like to get an idea of approximately how many people to expect, so please let us know if you will or may attend. The primary matter on the agenda will be discussion of a Master Plan we are devising to guide our project. If you are interested in learning more about the CFCPL and our activities (our mission statement is included at the end of this message) or would like to join, please contact me at the email address below. Some of the group will probably also visit the cemetery to police for trash and assess any new developments at the site. A time of day and more detailed information about this visit will also be posted in the near future. Thanks to all who have supported the project, and we look forward to seeing everyone who can be present.
