Master Plan

We are currently working on a Master Plan which will be a template for the work we carry out over the next 5 - 10 years. The Master Plan covers both old and new cemeteries and will include everything from maintenance and upkeep to major projects we would like to see happen. During its production, we will be seeking input from members, from the University of Toledo who will be critical to its execution and from other local organizations who we feel will have a valuable input.

NAMI Toledo

We had a meeting with the new Executive Director of NAMI Toledo, Robin Isenberg soon after she took office. We covered the history of the State Hospital, of the cemeteries and of the Reclamation Project before going on to talk about what we want to do in the future. Part of our future plans include a Memorial Garden for the Old Cemetery, details of which were left with Robin. We also discussed how we could help each other as groups.

Robin expressed a great interest in our project and has since told us she will be meeting with a number of senior local politicians in the near future and would raise the project with them.

NAMI Walk 2012

The 2012 NAMI Walk will take place on Saturday May 12, the weekend before our Memorial Event. The NAMI Walk is held on the grounds of the University of Toledo Medical Center and passes the State Hospital New Cemetery.

Prior to the walk this year, every walker will be given a flag. It is hoped each walker will divert onto the New Cemetery during their walk and place their flag on a cemetery marker.

In addition to our booth at the start of the race, we are also setting up a table and small display by the side of the road at the cemetery where we will have bottled water and information available. We also hope to place between 8 and 10 posters on the side of the road  by the cemetery, each giving a brief piece of information about the Project.

We would like to thank NAMI Toledo for giving us this opportunity. For more details on NAMIWalk 2012 or to register for the event, go to their website.
