The Linney-Acie Cemetery Association is inviting volunteers to a community cleanup day on Saturday, March 28, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. as residents come together to help care for the cemeteries.
The cemeteries are the resting place of many local families, including hundreds of veterans who served in the U.S. military.
Cleanup work will include edging around headstones, removing an old chain-link fence, filling low spots, clearing debris and performing general grounds maintenance as the association prepares for spring upkeep.
Volunteers who are able are encouraged to bring a weed eater or edger, safety glasses, work gloves, bolt cutters and a wheelbarrow to assist with edging, fence removal and filling low areas.
Families are encouraged to remove old flowers and decorations before the cleanup to make maintenance easier.
Community service hours will be available for students and court-appointed individuals. Participants should bring the appropriate forms.
For more information, call or text 832-427-9096.
