Memorial Day 2011
Events in Elgin a Big Success
The weather on Memorial Day 2011 was a bit warm, but otherwise
quiet and the city’s Memorial Day events were well attended.
The Elgin Patriotic Memorial Association especially wants
to thank the Elgin Choral Union and the District
301 Central High School band for their participation in the day’s programs.
A big thank you also goes to Tom Migatz, cemetery supervisor,
and the crew at Bluff City Cemetery. Barb Keselica, special events coordinator
at the city of Elgin, also deserves a great deal of thanks as do those
who assisted from the Elgin Police Department.
Bluff City Cemetery was also decorated beautifully thanks
to all those who helped with the Adopt a Cemetery program.
We also appreciate the loan of chairs from Laird Funeral
Home and Wait Ross Allanson Funeral & Cremation Service and the donation
of the printing of our program by Twin Arts Photography and Printing.
Planning for Memorial Day 2012 begins in January and we
welcome new member organizations to join us.
Jerry Turnquist, President
Elgin Patriotic Memorial Association
