The San Jose Montopolis Cemetery Association is now official!
A Certificate of Formation for a non-profit corporation has been issued by the Texas Secretary of State. This is significant news.
This milestone is a major step in insuring that both San Jose Cemeterio I and the San Jose II Cemetery (formerly the Montopolis Cemetery) are now umbrellaed under the same organization and through it's efforts, can represent the best interests for both cemeteries.
Many thanks goes out to the Montopolis CDC, the four-member board and the east Austin community who made this possible.
The newly-formed board of directors (trustees) will soon draw up by-laws and establish short and long term goals and future plans for both San Jose cemeteries. For now, the main focus will be directed on the San Jose Cemetery II off of Hoeke Lane.
Also look for an update regarding another in a series of clean-up soon to be announced.
