No need to be Croatian, many people enjoy becoming Croatian <br />for the day by adding an "itch" to their last name. This is a celebration of the <br />largest cultural group that immigrated to our area to work in the coal mines. This is <br />a family friendly event that attracts people from all over the country and even the <br />world. This year we saw record attendance with 610 people (usually we have <br />between 350-400, in 2021 we had an estimated 500). <br />Our annual Roslyn Cemetery Clean Up day saw a decline in participation in <br />comparison to 2021 due to inclement weather. Despite the rain we still had B0 <br />people helping, '18% from out of Kittitas County, and 28 didn't have family <br />members buried in the Roslyn Cemetery. <br />Memorial Day weekend also had unseasonably cold and wet weather so our <br />hospitality area which is usually hopping with activity only gathered 2'1 visitors <br />signing our guest book. Security cameras are in use at our Kiosk and we are able <br />to retrieve reports that provide data on how many people, animals, and vehicles <br />trigger the cameras. From January 1,2022 through September 21,2022 there <br />were 2,050 visitor groups that entered the kiosk. We also know that we are only <br />capturing data on people that actually visit the kiosk. The number of people that <br />visit the Gemetery but don't stop at the kiosk aren't tracked. <br />The meetings we held during the past year had an average of 35 attendees with a <br />hand full of people attending our meetings virtually. Our guest speakers included a <br />wide range of topics and speakers including an Eagle Scout that conducted his <br />project at one of Roslyn's Historic Cemeteries an update of projects in Roslyn <br />including a partnership with the Yakama Nation, a demonstration on cwu's digital <br />archives and special collections, and Seattle Archivist Ryan Donaldson, sharing <br />his journey to find out more about his African American ancestors that came to <br />Roslyn to mine coal in the late 1880's and '1890's. lf the speaker was amenable, <br />we shared the video of their presentation on YouTube. November 2022 guest <br />speaker Fred Krueger has rock star star status as a former teacher at CER High <br />School for 30 years+. Our Facebook post of him had a reach of 4,508 and the <br />video of his presentation has 475 views so far on our YouTube channel. <br />2500 character limit <br />lf-app-16-03.co.kittitas.wa.us/Forms/form/submission/history/77654/85641?hideHeader=true 7 I'17
