Another Update for TAHS Website!

July 7, 2007

Hello All, 
I know you just received a newsletter for June updates to 
site. However, we have so much going on in July and so many 
more contributions to site, that I want to send out a 
current update.  
 
If you are local, I hope you will be able to participate in 
some of the events scheduled in July. Especially the Domino 
Night fundraiser. If you can't be there, you could still 
purchase raffle tickets. Also the Park Dedication in Reagan 
Park - What an awesome endeavor this has been!  
 
Kudos to Bob Johnson! He has submitted all of the headstone 
photos for the Thomas Cemetery and they are posted on site. 
You can view the entire photo album, or go to each 
individual photo from the index.

I have gotten such a tremendous repsonse for offers to help 
on all of our cemetery projects - I am just sooooo excited! 
Please contact me if you are able to help in any way!
