What Can I Do to Help???........

Several People have emailed me to ask "What Can I Do?"

I would say right now that we desperately need more attention and one way to do that is sit down, make a list of all the persons you know who are related to the people buried in this historic, beautiful old cemetery and also anyone who you know that is interested in preserving cemeteries or is in general interested in History. Then make sure that they know about this web site and what we are trying to do. Gently suggest that we need funding and also more people to spread the word.

Next, consider gathering all the people in your circle of friends and think of ways to have a fund raiser or possibly a "pass the cup" event. If 15 people each chip in $3.00 that would make an excellent family contribution.

Post the information on message boards, genealogy societies, local history clubs, newspapers, libraries, bulletin boards and consider adding the web site address to your email sign off tag line.

Look for Corporate or Non Profit sponsors who might contribute to the cause. A 25 or 50 dollar contribution from them would be great.

Every little bit helps.

I have sent out about two hundred individual emails, posted items on genealogy message boards, spoken with one genealogy club person and I am preparing a one page flyer to pass out at the Pipes-Harmon-Gray family reunion in August.


And finally, throw your shyness to the wind and consider posting articles here for others to read. Or at least send me an email and I will post it for you if you tell me to.
Tell us your ideas, opinions etc...... HELP!!!!!!!

So far we have $300.00 in cash contributions and promises from about a dozen persons to contribute.
