Volunteer!
The
Historic City Cemetery is a work in progress. Although
much has been accomplished since 1987 when the Committee
tackled the numerous problems of broken headstones,
weedy plots and neglect, the Committee has added many
volunteer opportunities to handle research, education,
fund raising and committee administration.
The
Cemetery always needs gardening enthusiasts, help with
tours and special events, fund raising for restoration
of monuments, enclosures and fences and grant writing.
Particular skills we could use now include:
-
General Office
-
Granting Writing
-
Gardening
-
Fund
Raising
-
Tours
Please
complete the
volunteer application. The
Volunteer Coordinator will contact you for a phone or in
person interview to determine your interests and time
commitment.
If a
long-term commitment is not possible, the Cemetery
welcomes persons or groups who can done-time garden
clean up, special event assistance or help with our
October tours. Please
e-mail the Volunteer Coordinator or phone (916) 448-0811 and
leave message.
Adopt
A Plot
The
Adopt A Plot Program is an innovative concept in
cemetery restoration, beautification, and preservation.
It offers individuals, groups, organizations, societies
and companies the opportunity to play a vital role in
saving and preserving a historic Sacramento landmark. By
adopting a pioneer family's plot and caring for it, you
become a vital part of the cemetery's restoration and
preservation program. A few hours of your time each
month and a little landscaping imagination can make up
for the years of neglect that frequently plagues our old
pioneer cemeteries.
If you
are interested in becoming a volunteer,
e-mail the Volunteer Coordinator or phone (916) 448-0811 and
leave message.
