Spring in Review
As Summer nears, the Friends of the Bohemian Cemetery Omaha reflect on the projects we accomplished during Spring and start planning for Fall. Here is an overview of what the Friends have been up to:
-In the months of May and June, the Friends met to work on cemetery clean-up. This included planting, trimming, watering, mulching, and other jobs as needed. Please look for dates in the Fall if you would like to join us!
-Mother’s Day weekend, the Friends were joined by representatives from the Omaha Czech/Slovak Cultural Club and the Czech & Slovak Museum of Omaha for a kolach and houska sale during our “Mother’s Day Remembrance Event.” These organizations were able to supply information about the Bohemian culture, allowing modern families and friends to connect with their heritage.
-At the end of May, the Bohemian Cemetery Association held their annual meeting with the Friends in attendance. The meeting covered electing officers, finances, marketing ideas, future projects, and volunteer opportunities such as record keeping and office help over the summer. The association thanked board member Ernie Wesolowski for his contributions of new flags and taking care of much needed road repairs and tree removal.
