10/27/12 - Volunteers are being sought for a cleanup event early next month at the Pinckney Cemetery. The volunteers are needed to clean up summer decorations, fall leaves, trash, and other things around the cemetery. They are asked to bring Rakes, gloves, wheelbarrows, and clippers if possible, but none of these items are required to volunteer. Village Clerk Amy Salowitz tells WHMI the event is a great opportunity to volunteer, but it is also necessary to make sure the 177-year-old cemetery is maintained. The cemetery is owned by the village, but it is technically also a separate entity funded through the sale of plots. This funds basic maintenance by the village DPW, but the cleanup day helps supplement that service. The cemetery is located on M-36 just west of downtown Pinckney. The cleanup day is scheduled for Saturday, November 3rd at 9am. The event will be moved to the following Saturday if weather is unfavorable. (TD)
