~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Recent Improvement Project~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On May 16, 2009 Boy Scout Troop 90 built a path across the width of the Higgins Cemetery.
Project was led by Peter Dougherty to complete his Eagle Scout requirements.
The Board is pleased with the results as the Senaca gravel used matches the stone used in the Higgins monument.
This project is another step toward fulfilling our master plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  There was a lot of shovel work in the beginning.   The completed pathway runs next to the Higgins monument.
Removing grass in path  Completed with Ernie's bend

Everyone helped - Scouts, parents and our Board members, making completion possible in one day.
