No need to be Ci-oatian, 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 2A21 we had an estimated 500). <br />Our annual Roslyn Cemetery Clean Up day saw a decline in participation in <br />comparison lo2O21 due to inclement weather. Despite the rain we still had 80 <br />people helping, 18% from out of Kittitas County, and 28 didn't have family <br />members buried in the Roslyn Cemelery. <br />Memorial Day weekend also had unseasonably cold and wet weather so our <br />hospitality area which is usually hopping with activity only gathered 21 visitors <br />signing our guesi book, Security cameras are in use at our Kiosk and we are able <br />to retrieve repofls that provide data on how many people, animals, and vehicles <br />trigger the cameras. From January 1 ,2022 through September 21,2A22lhere <br />were 2,050 vrsitor groups that entered the kiosk We also know that we are only <br />capturing data on peopie that actually visit the kiosk The number of peoole that <br />visit the Cemetery 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 />- -l----r lt-- <br />speaker Fred Krueger has rock star star status as a former teacher at CER High <br />School for 30 years+.
