The Roslyn Cemetery has a long and significant history in Upper Kittitas County.
The Cemeteries are a focal point for the community and families who live, or have
lived, in the communrty. The Roslyn Cemetery is very unique in that it consists of
27 individual cemeteries scattered across 19 acres of a raooded area within the
boundaries of the City of Roslyn. Prior to 2008 the various lodges and community
groups maintained the different Cemeteries. When the Roslyn Ronald Cle Elum
Heritage Club gained non-profit status they took charge of coordinating,
maintaining, and supporting the Roslyn Cemetery Complex. This includes
numerous improvements and large scale projects, the latest being a new Kiosk.
The Kiosk siructure was built to provide a protecied place to gather as r.ryell as to
house a new lnieractive Digital Kiosk that will provide information on the people
interred in the Roslyn Cemeteries. The structure is also intended to serve as a
place to hold graveside services, especially during the winter months when snow
often creates chailenges to observing graveside burials.
Original plans called for this project to be completed by Memorial Day 2A2O but due
to Covid-19 the project r,ras delayed and is just now being completed this month
(September 2020). Another new addition to the Cemetery r.ms also completed this
past Spring, an ltalian Monument erected by the local Order Sons & Daughters of
Italy and families of ltalian descendants. To celebrate the completion of both
projects and to recognize and thank donors, r,ve had planned on holding multiple
activities including t\/c separate Dedication Ceremonies, during Memorial Day
2020. We are optinristic thai the activities planned for 2O2O will now happen during
Memorial Day weekend in 2021 .
The following is a draft schedule of events:
Friday Night 5l29l21: Wine & Cheese Reception for Donors & Volunteers

Memorial Day was declared a national holiday in 1971 to commemoraie all men
and Momen who have died while serving in the US military. lt has also become a
time to pay respecis to family members that have passed. Cemetery clean up raork
parties are held every year prior to Memorial Day r,r,reekend so the Cemetery looks
its best when family members and visitors arrive during that riveekend. lt is
estimated that there are 5,000 people interred in the Roslyn Cemeteries, over
1,000 in unmarked graves. Our Cemetery has a large number of internments for a
small tow'r. When coal mining in the area ended in 1963, the population dropped
significantly. ln Roslyn, the population reached a height of 4,000 and the current
estimate is 900. Although fewer people live in the area, many people living outside
the region return to visii family, retrace their heritage, and visit the cemetery lo pay
respects to relalives who are interred here. There are tour buses and multi-
generational family trips to lhe Cemetery. Eveiy Memorial Day, the Heritage Club
hosts a tent for visitors to stop and have a refreshment, gather information, and
visit with other families. Our Dedication Event will offer an opportunity for those
visitors to stay, gather, and interact with oihers that are interested in the history
and cullural significance of our area.
ln November 2019 a letter was sent to all members of the Roslyn Ronald Cle Elum
Heritage Club and also to people that have donated to the Roslyn Cemetery in the
past. We received personal checks from over 80 households and funds from 30
Businesses & Organizations. Of the donors, 53% reside outside Kittitas County.
This is indicative of the far reach that the Roslyn Cemetery has across the country
as well as the uorld. ln addition to the General Public, everyone on this list will be
personally invited to the events.
We already have rnterest from 50 attendees ouiside of the counly. One of the
families is planning on having some members fly up from California to attend as
they are descendants of one of the people portrayed in the Living History
Presentation segment. None of their family members live or have second homes
here so they will be using local lodging as u,ell as dining locally. Since this is a
multiple night event we anticipate that a great number of attendees will also be
eating at local restaurants as the only dinner opportunity that is part of our eveni
will be the celebration on Saturday night.

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

lbscribe how you will pronnte your evenVaclivityfacility to attract tourisis.
We have a list of past donors and volunteers, all of whom will receive a personal
invitation with a schedule of evenis so they can plan ahead for their lodging needs.
This list consists of over 200 people, 53% r.d-ro reside outside of Kittitas County.
The Order Sons and Daughters of ltaly Lodge Cle Elum solicited and received
funds for their monument from 67 donors. Their organizalion has 1600 members
within 16 lodges located in Washington and Oregon. lnformation about our event
will be shared through their group as rir,ell.
The Boulet Theatre Group will also share and cross advertise the event as they
are involved with ihe Living History Presentations part of our event. These
presentations share the stories of four people that are interred in the Roslyn
Cemetery.
Memorial Day r,raeekend is one of the busiest tourisi weekends of the year in the
Upper Kittitas County and the Cemetery is of greai hisioric and cultural interest to
visitors. We will have signage around the area io encourage tourists ihat are
already in our area to attend the activiiies lhal are part of our Event. This
information will also be shared at all the local hotels and lodging choices in the
Upper Kittitas Counly via printed materials and social media.
We also have a project with Inland Netir,orks uho are assisting with the creation of a
video showing our new kiosk project at the Roslyn Cemetery. The presentation
includes an interviewwith a local resident giving a tour of the Cemeiery while
sharing stories about some of his relatives that are buried there. This video will
initially be shared with attendees of Croatia Fest, an annual celebration held at the
Seattle Center in October. Since this large event rron't be held in person this year,
people will be able to view it at home and share it with others. The Croatia Fest
event began in 2004 and usually has between 3,000-4,000 attendees coming from
across the United States and Canada.

Since it is one of the busiest u,eekends in the Upper County, finding lodging could
provide a challenge to those that decide ai the last minute to attend our event. We
will send out invitations well in advance of our event to give people the opportunity
to make reservations for local lodging. We alrivays have greal support from local
businesses who donate. Those businesses will be recognized in the program for
our events. Many of these businesses are already conlributors that are recognized
in print on the back uall of the Kiosk at the Cemelery wirich is displayed year
round. Attendees from our events enjoy exploring local businesses as rnell as the
local reslaurants. There are family traditions that dictate visits to businesses thal
have been here for mulit-generations such as Glondos, Or,rens, Carek's, and the
Cle Elum Bakery. Historically visitors to the Cemetery have utilized lodging,
restaurants, and businesses throughout the Kittitas County. We knowthis from
discussions with visitors of the Cemetery. Our new Kiosk will have a guest book so

donors that contributed to the construction of the New Kiosk and llalian Monument.
The resi of the events will be open to the public including the dinner on Saturday
night. Every year there is a family friendly celebration on Saturday night of
Memorial Weekend with cultural food, music, and dancing. This is held at
Hawthorne Hall in Ronald and is a self-sustaining event through ticket sales, food &
drink sales, and donations at the event, We are asking for funds this year in
anticipation ihat this venue will be too small based on our estimated attendance.
This venue also doesn't have an option to become an outdoor event if there are
still Covid-19 restrictions in place particularly concerning indoor events. We are
planning on renting the Putnam Centennial Center in Cle Elum where we can rent a
large event tent providing more room for attendees.
lf the Living History Performances by the Boulet Theatre Group are a success this
could become it's ouin event with ticket sales sustaining it financially.
The Memorial Day Ceremony that occurs on Monday of Memorial Day is already an
annual event but does not require any funding.

challenges ytl experierl:ed.
Because \,e were not able to have large gatherings on Memorial Weekend this
year we decided to scale back our eveni to what had been done in past years with
a hospitality tent. Our new kiosk structure was finished enough to allow us to set up
tables and ptovide coffee, ualer, individually r,rnapped cookies, and Covid related
safety materials (masks, hand sanitizer, etc) during Memorial Day weekend. We
also provided flyers for people to take home that included information on our new
Digital Kiosk since it nrasn't installed yet. Visitors are able to access the ra,ebsite that
is associated with the Digital Kiosk using a home compuler. On Saturday,
historically the busiest day for visitors during that vreekend, we set up a laptop
connected to a very large screen so that u,e could showexamples of howthe new
Digital Kiosk trr,orks. Many visitors stopped, even if just for a brief moment to take
our flyer. We had prinled 50 flyers wtrich r,r,e quickly distributed so we went back to
Wapiti Office lo get another set. After the u,eekend we only had a handful of fliers
lefi so we handed out almost '100 flyers over the course of that weekend. Usually
there was one flyer handed out per group.

We have not applied for any grant funding for this specific event yet. We will also
be applying for funds for this event from the Roslyn Dovrnrtou,n Association,
Suncadia Fund for Communrty Enhancement, NKC Tribune Matching Ad
Sponsorship Program, and other businesses.
Funds that we have received to date have all been used to pay for the newKiosk
Structure, landscaping, parking lot improvements, digiial kiosk stand and softr,r,are.
Our next major improvement project at the cemeiery will be adding and improving
the irrigation system throughoul all 27 cemeteries.
We are fortunate to have broad support from various groups in the community
where they come and assist with various clean up and improvement projects in the
Cemetery. This includes members of ihe Rotary Club, Ethnic Lodges, Fraternal
Organizations, Churches, local school groups, CWU students, and members of the
Roslyn Ronald Cle Elum Heritage Club. ln 2018 we had over 100 volunteers for
one of the Cemetery Clean Up days prior to Memorial Day. Because of Covid
restrictions not allowing groups to assemble there was a large drop in ihe number
of volunteers for the Cemetery Clean Up days. Despite the State's Stay at Home
Order that was in place families were still seen cleaning up gravesites and different
areas of the cemeteries.
These volunteer hours total hundreds, if nol thousands of volunteers every year
For this specific event we have estimated the volunteer hours on a spreadsheet
that has been uploaded to this application.
This estimate doesn't include volunteer hours for the clean up and maintenance of
the Cemetery. lt also doesn't include volunteer hours to finish the website for the
Digital Kiosk.
