With Gratitude
We would like to thank Tim Smith for hosting
his Annual 4th of July Picnic. The donations
received helped pay for the restoration of the
main cemetery gate. A delightful time was
had by all who attended. The fireworks, food,
and entertainment were fantastic!! Everyone
enjoyed Tim’s daughter’s riding exhibition as
well. What a talented young rider!
In Remembrance
We sadly mourn the loss of the following
members who have recently died: Margaret
Paulsen, Glen Strang, and Fred Fettinger. We
will miss them terribly.
Donations
The H.M.C.A., Inc. has received memorial
donations in memory of Margaret Paulsen,
Glen Strang, and Fred Fettinger. We thank
their families for the memorial donations we
have received.
Millburn Cemetery Fence Restoration
The H.M.C.A. and the Cemetery Committee
of the Village of Old Mill Creek are working
together to raise funds for the restoration of
the Millburn Cemetery Fence. So far, the fence
sections along Millburn Road and the main
gate have been repaired. We hope to raise
additional funds to repair the other gates and
to paint the entire fence. If you would like to
donate to this worthy cause, please make
your check payable to the H.M.C.A. and
include a note informing us that your
donation is for the restoration of the fence.
