San Jose Cemetery clean up Sunday UPDATE: Day 2 of the San Jose cemetery Sunday clean-up is still scheduled. Meet at 8101 Posten Lane at 9 am Weather: The forcast indicates that a cold front will arrive the Austin area between 11 and 1 pm. Temperatures and humidity will drop. There is a chance for scattered showers as the front approaches. But if it presents an issue, we will stop early. The UT community service group Texas Infinities will be joining us. This makes their second year and we are looking forward to having them working with us again. For the community, we continue to need chainsaws, 'weed-eaters' and a couple of lawnmowers. We have some yard implements, trash bags and a lot of gloves. You are welcome to bring your own tools, but please mark them for identification. Tasks will focus on clearing established pathways, removing of branches/limbs, and some trash and recyclables (bottles/aluminum cans). Branch trimming will happen where needed, raking, a

Spring 2024 UPDATE: Recently, the San Jose I cemetery on Montopolis Dr. has been receiving an increase in attention, much of it because of social media. The spectacular Texas bluebonnets currently on display in the cemetery has brought out photographers, both professional and amateur. The San Jose Montopolis Cemetery Association welcomes this seasonal attention. However we need to underscore the significance of the fragility of the cemetery - which is over 100 years old.

March 2023 Update: The first San Jose I Cemetery Spring clean-up of the New Year (weather permitting) happens Saturday March 18. Please meet at the end of Short Kemp St. off of Ponca Street. Due to the recent winter ice storm, work at the cemetery is more pressing than usual. Fortunately, damage to grave markers are minimal, but there are a lot of fallen branches that need to be removed. There are less physical tasks that can also be performed. Come join our efforts beginning at 8 am. Work will contine until 1 pm. Yard implements, wheelbarrows, chain saws and string trimmers (weed whackers) are needed. Gloves, courtesy of #HomeDepot and some yard implements will be provided. Depending on attendance, a small group might be dispatched to San Jose II Cemetery about 3 miles away. Breakfast tacos will be provided. Spread the news and see you March 18. Any question, please respond via email or any of our social media accounts: Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/grou
