Sharing stories of Cemetery Walks at The Ladder

All are invited to join us at The Ladder Community Center in Shelby on Tuesday, Oct. 15 from 1:30-2:45 p.m. for Share Our Stories (SOS). This month’s SOS theme will be “Cemetery Walk.” We will show a video of the historic 1996 Mears-Round Lake Cemetery Walk. Local author Betty Phillips’ book, “Cemetery Potpourri,” will also be available. It is a cemetery guide of historical burials and practices meant to help people understand memorials and the artwork found on them. It also contains detailed suggestions about how to plan a cemetery walk for those interested in having such an event in our community.

SOS is a monthly event held at The Ladder, where people gather and share memories, photos, and other memorabilia from Oceana County. There is no additional cost for registered adult members 18+. Events are subject to change. To inquire about an event, or if you have ideas for future topics of interest for SOS, call The Ladder at 231-259-0211. Visit theladdercommunitycenter.com to view all our upcoming events.
