Bright Beginnings Preschool News
Bright Beginnings still has openings in all classes for Fall 2012 except the M-W-F morning class. Please call 724-869-9299 for more information during the summer months. Cemetery News
Most cemeteries in our area are maintained with "hired help". For the most part Rehoboth Cemetery is maintained by volunteers. We pay to have our grass cut, but everything else is done by the "good guys" of the Cemetery Association. Last week the entire cemetery was "trimmed" by "three good guys". After they finished with the grass they even trimmed the blue spruces. Have you had time to check out the new pathway? It’s not a road but a guide around the newer section of the cemetery. It's mainly for guiding heavy vehicles that are involved in excavation or monument setting jobs. Does that mean you can't drive your car on it? You can, but with caution. Since part of your car will be on the grass, be very careful when it's wet. I don't want a cell phone call that you're stuck! We'll place rods in the ground that will show you side limits. We have our water barrel in place. It's near the maintenance shed. It's leaking and may be empty when you go to use it! Obviously, we have some changes to make in its design. The "sunken road" is not sunken anymore! We plan to let it stay "as is" for the summer and seed it in the fall. We are planning to open a few new sites between the pathway and the road. The cost will be $300 per site, and $1100 for a family (4) plot. Our cremation plots are $150. (All prices are doubled for non- church members). I'd be glad to show you what is available, call me at 724-869-3837. Email Updates
