Sierra Vista Cemetery Association 2021 Newsletter Greetings to all the members and friends of the Sierra Vista Cemetery Association! Board of Directors: Thom Wheeler, President Anne Brenner, Treasurer Cathy Aragon, Secretary Barbara Brenner Elizabeth Crittenden Palacios Lavinia Wheeler Patsy Scott Dennis Scott Dolly Peralta Paula Mascareñas Louis Cordone Hugh Burt Judy Stribling Contact Information: PO Box 2103 Taos, NM 87571 575-758-8870 Or 575-770-1931 facebook.com/SierraVistaCemetery www.SierraVistaCemetery.com We want to bring everyone up to date on what has been happening at the Cemetery this past year: Grounds maintenance and tree trimming have been ongoing. We continue to need to lock the gate at night from 8PM to 7AM for security. A paved walkway to the left of the entrance is available for foot traffic. Locks have been purchased for all of the water spigots. The large dumpster has a lock on it. We are going to replace most of the old latila fence across the front of the cemetery in the near future. There is one remaining memorial bench that will be installed by the Fall in a common space in the cemetery. Annual Maintenance Fees Annually, we request at least $25.00 per burial gravesite in every plot be submitted to Sierra Vista Cemetery to maintain the premises. When you send your payment, please describe which sites you are paying on and who the owner/family of the site is. Remember, this is an annual maintenance fee on all gravesites owned whether they are vacant or utilized, and very much needed for the support of the cemetery. Make checks payable to Sierra Vista Cemetery and mail to: Sierra Vista Cemetery PO Box 2103 Taos, NM 87571 Another Option: Perpetual maintenance fee - In lieu of paying annually you may choose a one-time fee of $500, to contribute to the costs of cemetery operations ^. This is a per burial space fee. ^ Operations include, but are not limited to: general maintenance, repairs, cemetery improvements, security, insurance, water, garbage pick up, caretaking, opening/closing gate, planting, and promotion.
