On Saturday:
Union picnic to be
a cemetery benefit
The Hood Canal Improvement
Club hosts a community-wide pic-
nic starting at 4 p.m. this Satur-
day, July 21, at the Union Commu-
nity Park.
Hamburgers, hot dogs, soft
drinks, water, plates and utensils
are being provided by the club, and
all are welcome to attend this free
event. People are asked to bring a
salad or vegetable dish if their last
name begins with 'the letters A to
L, and a dessert from the letters M
to Z.
Randy Baugh will provide acous-
tical music, and there will be silent
and live auctions during the eve-
ning. The purpose of the event is to
raise funds to restore and improve
the Union Pioneer Cemetery, locat-
ed off McReavy Road. Much work
has been done in the past several
years to cut back the overgrowth of
brush that had overtaken the head-
stones and completely engulfed the
property, but there is more to do,
said club member Valerie John-
son.
Owned by Union City Masonic
Lodge 27, the cemetery has had
many people interested in its pres-
ervation throughout the years, but
a concerted effort, such as is being
staged currently by the Hood Canal
Improvement Club, hasn't occurred
for many years. The cemetery has
been at the present site since about
1893, noted Merlyn Flakus, one of
the organizers.
The current interest in the res-
toration of the cemetery holds
many possibilities, including the
continued cleaning of the grounds
of brush, grading the low areas
possibly bringing in fill
so the land is more even
out, purchasing equipment to

Once restored, outdoor

gravesites. Some club
