The Friends of Silverbrook Cemetery meet the third Thursday each month at 7 p.m. at the Niles Law Enforcement Center, located at Main St and Silverbrook Ave.
In addition to discussing progress made with our restoration and education projects, we feature a Guest Speaker. Past speakers have given talks about the history of Niles, gravestone restoration, and biographies of leading citizens. Many of our members also have interests in genealogy and local history. Members, nonmembers, and guests are always welcome to attend at no cost.
Thursday January 21, 2010 at 6 p.m. (an hour earlier than our regularly scheduled Monthly Meeings), we will have have an Open House at the Law Enforcement Complex in Niles, located at Silverbrook Ave. and Main Street. We will showcase our accomplishments for the past year, including what we have done on our Beautifcation and Restoration projects, the Silverbrook Legacies article series in the Niles Daily Star, and expansion of our website. This will be an opportunity to meet the current and future volunteers!
As always, our meetings are open to the public. Coffee and refershments will be served.
Our next Monthly Meeting will be Thursday November 19 at 7 p.m. at the Law Enforcement Complex in Niles. The meeting after that will be on Thursday December 17. We are planning to continue meeting this winter, as weather permits! Watch this space for changes and updates.
In addition to on-going business, we are looking for speakers on the topics of local history, cemeteries, genealogy, and other topics of interest to our members and the community.
