Dear Friends,
We are appealing for your financial support as plot sales, donations
and interest income has not kept pace with ever increasing operating
and repair and maintenance expenses.
All of our revenue sources are dedicated to mowing, general
maintenance and repairs, and administrative costs. This includes,
but are not limited to tree pruning and removal, monument repair,
fence and driveway upkeep. Interest rates on our investments remain
at or near all-time record lows. As such, we have had, at times, to
tap our savings accounts to cover these obligations. These expenses
will certainly continue to increase as time moves forward. Aside
from mowing, your Board of Trustees performs many ordinary repair
and maintenance projects on a volunteer basis. Professional services
are only contracted when absolutely necessary. Maintenance issues
never cease. Many projects are being deferred due to lack of
funding.
The Board of Trustees works very hard to invest our funds prudently
and to spend the income wisely. We are making this appeal knowing
that you have strong feelings for the wellbeing and upkeep of the
cemetery. The WWCA is a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit Corporation under
the Internal Revenue Code. Your donations are tax deductible to the
fullest extent allowed by law.
Donations or inquiries may be mailed to us at the above noted
address.
We extend sincere thanks for your continued financial support.
