Fuqua Family/Erwin Cemetery

Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 3-4PM

at the Cemetery

As specified by the bylaws of the Fuqua Family Cemetery/Erwin Cemetery Association, we will hold our 2026 annual membership meeting on Sunday, May 3.   This year we will be meeting at the Cemetery, so bring your lawn chairs.  This will be a good opportunity to clean up and level the grave markers and burial plots of your family members as well. There are several items on the agenda for member approval: election of a director for a 5-year term, as well as approval of membership dues, and burial fees for 2026/2027.  The proposed agenda is shown below on the copy of the meeting notice. If you will not be attending the meeting, you may designate a proxy to vote on your behalf.  If you wish to vote by proxy, state law for non-profit organizations requires a written  Designation of Proxy form (which is attached below) be returned to us prior to the votes taking place.  Your proxy may be anyone you designate who is attending the meeting, but if you prefer, you may simply designate the “Board Secretary”.  If you have any questions on proxy voting, please call us at 936-727-2400 and leave a message.  When we send out the annual dues notice in August, we will include a summary of the annual meeting.

We look forward to seeing you there…
