A request from the Brookline Cemetery Commissioners: Laurie Nau-Martocci, Doug Wellman, Howard Osgood, Mike Winot and Dot Maggio The Brookline Cemetery Commission is an independent entity that operates the Riverside Cemetery for the Town of Brookline. All other cemeteries in the town are considered “ancient” and are maintained by your tax dollars and managed by the Selectboard. Over the past decades, due primarily to changes in burial customs and increasing maintenance costs, the Riverside Cemetery has been operating at a significant loss. As your elected Cemetery Commission we do our best to manage this much needed service for the residents of Brookline and strive to provide an affordable solution in their time of need, while maintaining a dignified final resting place for our loved ones. Until recently we have held the price on burial plots down but with the growing popularity of cremations these sales have not been enough for us to cover upkeep. It is with great reluctance that we are asking for your support to help cover maintenance costs. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and can be sent to the Town of Brookline Cemetery Commission, PO Box 403, Newfane VT or dropped off at the Town Office.
A message from the Historic Round School House Committee: Dot Maggio, Laurie Nau-Martocci, Kerry Bourne and Julia Duke In celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Historic Round School House, the committee is completing the memorial garden honoring Cynthia Nau -Long time community leader, teacher, neighbor and friend. A dedication ceremony will be held later this summer.
