[HistoricCemeteries] Historic Commission seeks new member

State historic cemetery commission seeks new member
 
The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is seeking a volunteer to
fill the position of a commissioner who recently resigned. 
 
In 1999 the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries, made up of seven
citizens, was empowered by the legislature to develop and maintain a
listing of all pioneer and historic cemeteries in Oregon; to make
recommendations for funding, obtain grants funding, seek legislative
appropriations for historic cemeteries, and to assist in the
coordination of restoration, renovation and maintenance of historic
cemeteries statewide.


The group meets four times per year in changing locations around the
state. There may be an occasional additional meeting for extra projects,
programs and grant selection. The Commissioners are also asked to
provide informal meetings in their regions and work on other projects
outside of meeting time.
 
The commission is particularly seeking a representative from the
central and south areas of the East side of the state, but all are
encouraged to apply. Please apply before June 1, 2011. 
 
The state historic cemeteries program, a part of Oregon Park and
Recreation Department’s Heritage Programs, maintains a list of Oregon’s
historic cemeteries and offers a variety of educational, financial and
technical resources for those working to preserve them. Details are
available online at www.oregonheritage.org (
http://www.oregonheritage.org/ ) or by contacting Gill at
Kuri.Gill at state.or.us, or by phone at 503-986-0685.
