To the Editor:

The Prospect Hill Cemetery Board of Trustees is in need of support from community volunteers. The cemetery has veterans interred from the Revolutionary War to present day.

If you walk the grounds, you see the names of so many friends and families of the many community volunteers from Guilderland, New Scotland, and Bethlehem.

You may want to consider adopting a small section of the grounds to maintain. If 25 volunteers donate two hours of their time semi-annually, our historic cemetery receives the care it so richly deserves. Many hands make light work!

Volunteers are needed semi-annually in May and September to help trim the cemetery grounds. It takes over 50 man hours to trim the historic cemetery.

The board of trustees is seeking community volunteers to trim the grounds on May 13 (in case of rain, May 20), from 8 a.m. to noon.

It is our hope, with your support, that our association will be able to fulfill our mission to maintain the grounds and honor the many veterans of our community interred at Prospect Hill Cemetery.
