Earle’s Chapel – Ironton Homecoming
Dear Friend,
You are receiving this letter because you are a part of the Earle’s Chapel Cemetery Association (ECCA) mailing list.
It is with deep regrets that the Cemetery Board of Directors has decided that we will cancel our “Homecoming” this year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board felt that it would be best for everyone’s health and safety that we cancel this year.
Remember that the upkeep and improvements to the cemetery are funded by your contributions. The care of the cemetery cannot be sustained without the financial support of family and friends. Due to the hard work of the Friends of Earle’s Chapel, our income was greater this year than our expenses. We certainly hope that this continues. This past year, our income was $13,062.18 while our expenses were $10,215.83. (Please see other side for the financial report) If everyone contributes, then we can keep our Cemetery well maintained. We do have a healthy trust fund, but a fixed income from it would not be enough to meet our expenses. We must continue to rely on contributions, so please give generously.
