VolunteerConway.org Big Event

On November 1, 2013, Oak Grove Cemetery is participating in VolunteerConway.org's Big Event by hosting volunteers at the cemetery to help with some clean-up and maintenance projects which include mulching, weeding, raking, trimming and more.

We'll be there 8:00 - 11:00 am this Friday, so stop on by to lend a hand!  You can even register ahead of time at:
Oak Grove Cemetery Volunteer Sign-Up.

Join us for a day of fun while lending a hand to the cemetery and community!

Central Landing

It is certainly an exciting time to be in Conway, Arkansas!  On October 10, the Conway Development Corporation and Jim Wilson Associates of Montgomery, Alabama, announced plans to jointly develop Central Landing on the site of the current (soon to be vacated) Cantrell Field airport just north of the cemetery.  We are excited to have new neighbors and very pleased that the city is considering the possibility of expanding Oak Grove Cemetery to the north with a portion of this land.

Voluntary Taxes

When paying your personal property taxes this month, be sure to include your voluntary taxes. Historic Oak Grove Cemetery is supported by a portion of the voluntary tax millage and we very much appreciate your help!

Jim Owen - 1947-2013

The Oak Grove Cemetery Board lost a dear friend and advocate this past week.  Jim Owen, our newest board member, passed away August 1.  While his time working on our board was short, his contributions were outstanding and he will be sorely missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
