Hello All,

 

This is a friendly reminder about important upcoming events in the next few weeks. 

 

**Florence Stockade Tour / Mt Hope Clean-Up**

Saturday, April 25th (THIS SATURDAY) we are having a guided tour of the Florence Stockade.  Everyone should meet at the gazebo on Stockade Rd at 0900.  Please contact me if you need directions.  Afterwards, we will go up the street to Mt Hope Cemetery at 1030 to have a clean up day in preparation for Confederate Memorial Day.  Our objectives for Mt Hope are to clean the crosses and make sure they are all still there and to clean the area around the large veterans monument near the entrance. Suggested items to bring are a hand broom, rake and water.  (We will not be doing any paiting on the crosses - just a survey for any damage).  If we have good participation we should be finished by noon.  The weather Saturday is supposed to be really nice with a high temp around 80F.  If you cant come to the stockade tour - meet us at Mt Hope at 1030.  This is a family event - all are welcome.  Bring your kids or grand kids - lets have a good time.
