Ever Green:
Coming Together to Care for Nature at Fort Atkinson's Historic Evergreen Cemetery
.jpg)
In July of last year, nearly 70 trees in Fort Atkinson's Evergreen Cemetery were damaged due to strong straight-line winds. While much progress has been made, cemetery staff are still in need of further assistance to help restore this beautiful local landmark.
On June 22, FACT teamed up with the Fort Atkinson Club to create the benefit event Ever Green: Coming together to care for nature at Fort Atkinson’s historic Evergreen Cemetery. The event helped to raise awareness and approximately $3,500 was donated to support tree stewardship at the cemetery.
THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated, purchased plants and trees, and made this a successful benefit!
Call for Choir Director
A Matter of FACT, our a cappella singing group, is seeking a new director!
This volunteer will lead the choir in rehearsals and plan concerts, while the FACT board of directors purchases music, secures venues, handles publicity, and supports the efforts of the director and singers.
Interested? Contact president@fortfact.org
