Donate a Park Bench
Pennfield Township has come up with a way to save money for Hicks Cemetery. Instead of buying products such as tables, benches, bike racks, trash receptacles, and message boards using taxpayer dollars why not allow individuals, companies, and charity groups the opportunity to donate these products to the cemetery grounds.
