Hobo's Cemetery Improvement Tidying & Overhaul #14 Cache In Trash Out Event

You are invited to participate as we do our part in maintaining Rhode Island's historic cemeteries, one at a time. Please join us for Hobo's Cemetery Improvement, Tidying, and Overhaul (CITO) event, one of many cleanups that will focus on these neglected or time-worn sites.

This cleanup project is being coordinated by the Cranston Historical Cemetery Commission (CHCC). This will be a geocaching event that will also be advertised to the public, so expect to see some other friendly faces there to help out!
