Programs described in its return (1)
- WE HOSTED TWO WORK EVENTS TO BEAUTIFY THE CEMETERY, ONE EACH IN APRIL AND OCTOBER. THREE REDBUD TREES WERE PLANTED BY THE FRONT FENCE (NEAR MACKENZIE). THE BOARD RECRUITED AN ADDITIONAL BOARD MEMBER AND REDUCED THE ANNUAL BOARD MEETINGS TO FOUR. PRICING FOR LOTS AND INTERMENTS WAS REVIEWED AND UPDATED. THE CEMETERY CONTRIBUTED 3300 TO THE ENDOWED CARE FUND HELD AT REGIONS BANK, WHICH IS 15% OF THE INCOME FROM GRAVE SALES. BOARD MEMBERS WORKED WITH LCMS LEADERS TO FIND OVERSIGHT FOR THE BOARD AND A SUSTAINABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' SUCCESSION PLAN. THESE MEETINGS ARE ONGOING. THE CEMETERY BOARD HAD SEVEN DEAD TREES REMOVED. ALL KNOWN DELINQUENT TAXES FROM DECEMBER 2021 WERE PAID. THERE WERE 22 GRAVES SOLD, 2 GRAVES EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER LOCATION AND 41 INTERMENTS IN 2025. THE GOLF CART WAS SOLD AND FUNDS FROM THE SALE WERE USED FOR OPERATIONS. SEVERAL TOPPLED STONES WERE RIGHTED AND PLACED ON TOP OF THE LOT TO WHICH THEY BELONGED. WE ARE WORKING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO RESETTING THE STONES. THE CEMETERY OFFICE WAS REORGANIZED AND DECLUTTERED. VOLUNTEERS FINALIZED THE DATA ENTRY FOR DEEDS AND INTERMENTS INTO AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET, USING INTERMENT LOGS, LOT CARDS, AND OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION. THE BOARD EVALUATED OPTIONS FOR A MORE PERMANENT ELECTRONIC STORAGE OF RECORDS. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE MANY BLESSINGS SHARED WITH OUR REDEEMER CEMETERY BY OUR VOLUNTEERS, DONORS AND MEMBERS OF THE VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
