Sierra Amador’s newest committee, Historic Preservation, is up and running!  Inspired by the US WWI Centennial Commission, the committee has: submitted three stories of ancestor service in WWI; mapped, photoed and submitted the Sutter Creek WWI memorial to the US WWI Memorial Register; and submitted a 100 Cities/100 Memorials grant proposal to honor WWI veterans interred in the Jackson Pioneer Cemetery.  The grant proposal includes (1) restoring a local WWI veteran grave site, (2) finding and mapping all WWI veteran graves, and (3) holding a Centennial Celebration to honor all local WW Veterans in November 2018.  In response to the grant application, two founding members of the committee were interviewed about their WWI Commemoration plans.
