That means that we are once again turning our attention to preparing both San Jose cemeteries for the season. Clean-ups are scheduled at each location and you are welcome to be involved however you can.

Saturday, October 26 from 8 am - 1 pm at San Jose I cemetery - 718 Montopolis Dr. (meet at 703 Small Kemp where there is plenty of parking).

Sunday, October 27 from 8am - 1 pm at San Jose II cemetery - 8101 Posten Ln.

Después de un verano largo y caluroso que continúa, estamos entrando en la temporada de transición. Eso significa que una vez más estamos centrando nuestra atención en preparar ambos cementerios de San José para la temporada. Se han programado limpiezas en cada ubicación y usted puede participar en todo lo que pueda. Sábado 26 de octubre de 8 a. m. a 1 p. m. en el cementerio San José I, 718 Montopolis Dr. (el punto de encuentro es 703 Small Kemp, donde hay mucho espacio para estacionar). Domingo 27 de octubre de 8 a. m. a 1 p. m. en el cementerio San José II, 8101 Posten Ln.

As usual, lawnmowers, chainsaws, string-trimmers (weed wackers), lawn bags, branch clippers and grass trimming shears will be very useful. We have available wheelbarrows, rakes and gloves for use.
Please bring water and snacks, but we expect to have tacos, juice and coffee available.
Please note that bathroom accomodations will only be available at the San Jose II cemetery location.

Como de costumbre, serán muy útiles las cortadoras de césped, motosierras, desmalezadoras, bolsas para césped, tijeras para cortar ramas y tijeras para cortar el césped. Tenemos carretillas, rastrillos y guantes disponibles para su uso. Traiga agua y bocadillos, pero esperamos tener tacos, jugo y café disponibles. Tenga en cuenta que los baños solo estarán disponibles en el cementerio San José II. Para más información envíe un correo electrónico a: info@sanjosemca.org

We advise that you do not wear open-toe shoes/sandals, shorts or tank tops.
Work in some areas will possibly expose you to poison ivy.
Upon arrival, be sure to find and sign the attendance check-in sheet

Continuing to secure the cemetery is a top priorty. We have obtained fencing that we would like to be installed along a section on the south side of the cemetery. Hopefully, we can accomplish this task on Saturday. Any expertise at chain link fence installation will be welcome.

Please check back here for updated details as well as the San Jose I y II community Facebook page.
See you soon!
