On Saturday, May <br />26,2O1B a Dedication Ceremony was held for the new Croatian Memorial <br />Monument erected in the National Croatian Society Cemetery. This eveni r,ms held <br />in the Cemetery and r,ras well attended with approximately 100 people in <br />attendance. Several Dignitaries attended including the Flonorary Consul for the <br />Republic of Croatia who traveled from New York and the Consul General wtro <br />traveled from Los Angeles. That evening a celebration r,res held at Hawthorne Hall <br />in Ronald with approXmately 125-150 people in attendance. This information came <br />from the organizer of that event, Beverly Prkacin Read. <br />Our event will be reaching a broader audience, especially out of county visitors <br />since rr,e will be sending out invitations to our donors as uell as to all the members <br />of our Heritage Club which consists of 208 members, 70 of those members reside <br />outside of Kittitas County. Our list of donors and contributors for the Kiosk consists <br />of over 200 individual households, businesses, and organizations and the ltalian <br />Monument has a list of 67 donors and supporters. ln contrast the Croatian <br />Monument had 75 donors and supporters. <br />The format of the Dedication Ceremony will follow the structure of the 2018 <br />Dedication Ceremony which r.ms proven to be a successful event. The dinner on <br />Saturday night also has proven success with its struclure so we will follow that <br />format w,tren planning our dinner. The Living History Preseniations are newto us <br />but trye have recruited the assistance of The History Museum of Hood River County <br />from Hood River, Oregon thai holds an annual event called Cemetery Tales. Tr,r,o <br />members of our local Boulet Theatre Group have also been a part of the Zoom <br />meetings ue have held with this group. <br />2500 character lirit <br />3llmpact
