The Beautification Club of Sandy Spring (BCoSS), is dedicated to the maintenance of the Ash Memorial Cemetery, a site of historical significance to the community. BCoSS emphasizes the need for education and respect for this sacred space, urging all residents to appreciate the rich history it embodies. By fostering a sense of community responsibility, the Beautification Club aims to ensure that the cemetery remains a serene and well-maintained testament to the legacy of Sandy Spring's ancestors.
Recently, concerns have arisen regarding the actions of
newcomers to the area, whose disregard for the cemetery's
historical importance threatens its integrity.
These newcomers have no ties to Sandy Spring and have
removed 'No trespassing' signs, disturbed grave markers,
harassed visitors, and erected barriers in Ash Memorial Cemetery…
All in an attempt to claim the land.
