The newly-appointed Shannon Cemetery Commission’s initial meeting is at 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 6, in the first floor dining room of Maple Crest, just off Augsburger Road.

Mayor Judy Augsburger announced at Monday’s council meeting that Nathan Ulrey will chair the commission. She named the commission members in July.

Other members are John Murray, Evan Skilliter, Fred Rodabaugh, Bob Amstutz, Samuel Diller, Richard Boehr, Harriett Moyer, Jesse Blackburn, David Steiner and the mayor. Paula Scott, a non-voting member, is the commission recorder.

The Icon understands that the meeting will include a discussion on how to proceed with its duties and will also allow time for representatives of Save the Shannon Cemetery to address the commission.

The commission will also decided on a meeting schedule.
