[Cz-L] Cemetery Cleanup

Dear All
 I excuse myself in advance for unintentionally hurting anybody's feelings.
I don't know how many of you did actually arrange a cleanup or renovation of
one or a few graves there. I did, and I can tell you it is not an easy task
(saying the less), and it costs money! ( not a small sum). Now a group of
people from all over the world (or part of it) with no emotional ties to the
place just for pure altruistic reason volunteered to give (donate) their
time and efforts to do something to improve the situation there. No matter
how much they did - I consider it a miracle. Not to speak of how their
action affected the locals and the Municipality. I am sitting now in front
of my computer as those of you who read this and ask myself: What have I
done for this effort? How can I show my gratitude to those people? For those
who remember, people in Czernowitz used to say: "What should somebody do who
had a run of bad luck and is out of "Parnuse"? - " He can become " An
Eitsesgiber" . I intentionally do not include the much deserved praise to
Mimi which needs a separate letter.
