Fall Arrives at Muskalonge Cemetery.

For our third and final work party of 2012, there was much yet to do. We will include the photos in another post. We appreciate your continued support, and will continue work efforts in 2013, primarily, the placement of military headstones for those veterans whose stones are currently broken. Please check back in the spring for details. You may view those interred at this cemetery on Find A Grave, posted by our representative for your convenience. Thank you for your financial support! Your Friends at Muskalonge Cemetery!

Check out our Maple Syrup Fundraiser produced by W.E. Allen, Beaver Falls NY (also see our previous post).


USES: Great on blueberry pancakes. Use in place of table sugar as a sweetener (great for tea and coffee), pour some on oatmeal (along with walnuts and raisins), add to cooked sweet potatoes (with cinnamon), use as a glaze for ham (along with brown sugar), or spread over top of peanut butter and sliced bananas on whole wheat toast. Yum!

Regardless of how you enjoy this tasty treat, we hope you will purchase maple syrup be W.E. Allen to help support our Muskalonge Cemetery restoration effort. Call Warren directly: 315-486-3919.

Thank you, in advance!
