BURLINGTON FLATS

The Burlington Flats Cemetery Association has a new Facebook group for those in the community interested in joining. The cemetery is regulated by the New York State Division of Cemeteries and the association is a not-for-profit governing body that runs the cemetery in Burlington Flats. The current board members are all local to Burlington Flats. They are: Rick Graham, president; Joy Miller, vice president; Paula Wengert, secretary; and Gene Mayne, treasurer.

The Facebook group was started by ShariLou Baulch McConnell, who also serves as its moderator. Anyone may visit the group online, but those seeking membership must be approved by McConnell before they can join or post.
