This Saturday, if you don't know where the Leverich Cemetery is look for the balloons across from the Rehab center on 35th Avenue just east of Leverich Street.

We had a great turn out and really hard workers.  We will be back next Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM, but I think we are more than half way though.  I can't believe how much we did in just a few hours.  Check out the JHBG facebook page to see photos.
