Seeking new members. Thompsons Lake Rural Cemetery holds annual meeting

To the Editor:

On  May 11, the Thompsons Lake Rural Cemetery Association will hold its annual meeting at 6 p.m. at the Thompsons Lake Reformed Church in East Berne. In addition to the annual budget review and trustee appointments, we will recap the 2015 season.

We are an all-volunteer organization and need new members. If you are a deed holder and care that the cemetery is well managed and maintained into the future, please join us to learn who we are, what we do, and how you can help.

Our future depends on you!

If you are unable to attend, please consider sending a donation to help with the cost of summer mowing, repair of headstones, and maintaining the roadway. Checks should be made out to Thompsons Lake Rural Cemetery and mailed to Sue Jordan, 276 South Manning Blvd, Albany, NY 12208.

If you are not a deed holder but would like to be, cemetery plots may be purchased as follows: a whole plot with eight graves costs $750; a half plot with four graves costs $400.

If you have questions, call Don VanHoesen at(518) 326-1549, Shirley Salisbury at (518) 673-5711, Lora Ricketts at (518) 872-1691, Melva Williman at (518) 872-1766 or me at (518) 487-4698.
