Our Thanks to Amador Community Foundation!

The Hiram C. Meek Society would like to extend its thanks to the Amador Community Foundation for the 2010 Grant of $750 for our restoration of the Hiram C. Meek cemetery plot at Jackson Historic Cemetery. The money will go exclusively to restoring the broken headstones and erosion abatement to prevent further damage to the plot.

The Amador Community Foundation is a nonprofit, public charity established in 2000--connecting local generosity with local needs. Through the generosity of hundreds of local donors, the Foundation has awarded grants that have helped thousands in Amador county. Local individuals and businesses can establish funds or channel their charitable contributions through the Foundation to be used as grants to support numerous local nonprofit groups such as the Children of the American Revolution's Hiram C. Meek Society.

Thank you, Amador Community Foundation for your generous support!
