Our friends and hosts at Sunnyside Cemetery need our help!!

Financial stress, drought, and over 100 years of depreciating time have hit Sunnyside Cemetery hard - and they count on YOU, their community, to help keep this crucial institution intact! Please join Friends of Sunnyside Cemetery Long Beach and their team of volunteers to help keep Sunnyside beautiful!

VOLUNTEER GROUNDS CLEANUP coming up Saturday December 2, 2017, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Help for an hour, or all day! You decide!

Help is needed with grounds keeping, including leveling the grounds, mulching select areas, uncovering headstones, w**ding/trimming and general clean-up.

WEAR gloves, sturdy shoes, socks, long pants, hat, and sunblock (LOTS of thistles & pointy w**ds). Please bring your own reusuable water container to reduce the use of bottled water. We will have water for refills and bottled water on hand.

• brooms for cleaning headstones
• large dust pans
• cordless (gas or battery) w**d trimmers
• hand w**ding tools & clippers

Dear friends,

Unfortunately our series Lola's Outdoor Retro Cinema will not be returning to Sunnyside Cemetery this year. In short, this is not by choice. We love hosting these events, and have cherished our relationship with Sunnyside, and would love to return to this historic Long Beach landmark with more exciting nights of film, music, and community.

If you'd like to see Lola's Outdoor Retro Cinema return, please email Sunnyside Cemetery at [email protected] and let them know how much these events have meant to you and your community.

Thank you for all your past support, and we hope to see you all again soon.
