Cheney Memorial Day service

The Cheney Cemetery Association is sponsoring the annual Memorial Day Program at Fairview Cemetery. The program begins at 11:15 a.m. Monday, May 25.

Due to lack of a facility, the annual pancake breakfast and march to the cemetery will not be held this year. Those wishing to attend are invited to meet at the cemetery along with the Cheney Cub Scouts, VFW Rifle Squad, Eastern Washington University ROTC, Cheney High School Music Department and other community members for this patriotic program honoring those who gave their lives for freedom.

Donations are appreciated at the program, and are used for improvements at Cheney’s cemeteries.
