Springield, Mo ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathleen O'Brien-Blair To: MO-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 12:38 PM Subject: Re: [MO-CEM] Cemeteries in disrepair This sounds like a great idea! And heaven knows, Coffee is the most important primary ingredient in any good project. :) It sounds like we're strating a project. Okay, I'll start it off - where is "locally," and how many interested people do we have in one fairly close aera? I'm in SE Kansas City, and for the actual clean-up and refurbishment work I'll go as far as Leavenworth , KS, or Warrensburg, MO. Where are all y'all? List Mom - can we keep posting about his here? Or would you rather we did it in private e -mail. It is sorta on topic, but I think it might get out of boundaries a little. Is this gonna be okay? Also, galdys in AZ's suggestions about getting Boy Scouts, Elks, and LDS involved are good. Once we zeore in on a location, we could also tap local genealogical and histoircal societies, Girl Scouts, local Vet organisaitons, if we know there is a veteran's grave, etc. Kathleen ----- Original Message ----- From: Victoria <Flower2@sofnet.com> To: <MO-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 1:51 AM Subject: Re: [MO-CEM] Cemeteries in disrepair > Dear Kathleen and List, > > I am know there are plenty of grave sites that need some TLC.
