The Cromwell Hillside Cemetery Association is looking for prospective new members for the Board of Directors.
The Cromwell Hillside Cemetery is a privately owned 12-acre cemetery fronting on both sides of Hillside Road in Cromwell and owned by the Cromwell Hillside Cemetery Association. The east side is the oldest, established in 1855 with the west side added in 1905. The only requirement to become a member of the Association is to either live in Cromwell or own a plot in the cemetery.
A Board of Directors was established by the Association to oversee the management of the cemetery including sales of plots, burials, landscaping, establishing Rules and Regulations, and public events. The Board meets about five times per year, so it is not time consuming, but it is extremely important that we ensure the future of the only cemetery still operating in our town for our citizens and plot owners. It is critically important to maintain the viability and sustainability of our Association and its Board of Directors that we continue to attract new members. To that end, we are looking for an infusion of new ideas and vitality. Skills in finance, investing, or information technology would be helpful.
Public service, doing something for the people of our town, or just being involved in our community is very gratifying to all of us and if you are interested in helping achieve those goals, we would like to hear from you. Please send us an e-mail telling us a little about yourself and your interest in joining us.
We can be reached at our website (Cromwellhillsidecemetery.org), or at Cromwell Hillside Cemetery Association, PO Box 12, Cromwell, Ct. 06416, or our President, Dick Newton ([email protected])
