Extra Credit: Wilson Cemetery Clean-Up

We will be meeting at 8:00am on October 8th at Wilson Cemetery in Rocky Top to do brush clearing, weed-eating, putting gravestones back together, etc.  The cemetery is located behind the Econo Lodge visible from I-75 on Colonial Lane.  Bring gloves, loppers, pruners, etc.  

We are doing "Phase I" right now, so it's just clearing all of the brush away.  Phase II will include creating paths and benches.  Phase III will include parking, a wheelchair ramp, and a retaining wall.

Please join us.
