Project Respect!
Here is a project near and dear to our hearts. It came to our attention at our last meeting that there are 3 cemeteries in Logan County in very poor shape. Moore Cemetery, Tharps Run Cemetery and Detrick Cemetery all need our help desperatly!
Starting in March we will begin work on these Cemeteries. We need volunteers to help us in our goal to fix these cemteries. The stones are broken and sinking into the mud. At the Moore cemetery there are bones above ground that need put back into the ground.
Please help us, help the comunity; to show respect to the dead and the living.
