Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. We meet every Wednesday from noon to 1:00 p.m. at Shawnee State's Kricker Innovation Hub.
Rev. Gowdy discussed the Foundation's latest project to restore two mausoleums, one constructed in 1900 and the other in 1928. The Greenlawn Mausoleum Window Restoration Campaign is the first step in an important multi-year restoration and preservation project. Donations may be made online at www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/P2HAFETQMJG26
The City of Portsmouth is funding roof repairs for the mausoleums, and the Foundation has committed $50,000 toward the cost of the window restoration. Proceeds from the recent Tombstone Trot 5K Run/Walk will benefit the project as well.
Organized in 2017, the Foundation has spearheaded the completion of $650,000 in restoration and preservation projects at the cemetery, the site of approximately 80,000 graves. They regularly apply for grant funding and are working to add the cemetery to the National Registry of Historic Places, a list that already includes the cemetery's chapel. This designation will make more grant funding possible.
