The Roslyn Cemetery is very unique in that it consists of <br />27 individual cemeteries scattered across 19 acres of a raooded area within the <br />boundaries of the City of Roslyn. Prior to 2008 the various lodges and community <br />groups maintained ihe different Cemeteries. When the Roslyn Ronald Cle Elum <br />Heritage Club gained non-profit status they took charge of coordinating, <br />maintaining, and supporting the Roslyn Cemetery Complex. This includes <br />numerous improvements and large scale projects, the latest being a new Kiosk. <br />The Kiosk structure was built to provide a protected place to gather as ia,ell as to <br />house a new lnteractive Digital Kiosk that will provide information on the people <br />interred in the Roslyn Cemeteries. The structure is also intended to serve as a <br />place to hold graveside services, especially during the wnter months when snow <br />often creates challenges to observing graveside burials. <br />Original plans called for this project to be completed by Memorial Day 2O2A but due <br />to Covid-19 the projeciwas delayed and is just nowbeing completed this month <br />(September 2020). Another new addition to the Cemetery was also conrpleted this <br />past Spring, an ltalian Monument erected by the local Order Sons & Daughters of <br />Italy and families of ltalian descendants. To celebrate the completion of both <br />projects and to recognize and thankdonors, \,e had planned on holding multiple <br />activities including luo separate Dedication Ceremonies, during Menrorial Day <br />2020. We are optimistic that the activities planned for 2020 will now happen during <br />Memorial Day urcekend in 2021 . <br />The following is a draft schedule of events: <br />Friday Night 5l2\l21: Wine & Cheese Reception for Donors & Volunteers <br />Saturday 5129121: <br />.
