2014 Fund Campaign
A Few Words From Dianne Leary, 1st VP & Grants Administrator
Once again VOCA's fund campaign was very successful. Through the generosity of our donors, VOCA is able to continue with our grant program at the increased amount of $750.00 for four projects for the next two years. Your participation has enabled VOCA to fulfill its mission of cemetery preservation and restoration at a greater level. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible.

2012 Fund Campaign
A Few Words From Dianne Leary, 1st VP & Grants Administrator
There are no words that can adequately express my level of gratitude and pride to the response of VOCA’s inaugural fundraising campaign. The total received far exceeded our goal. With the generosity of so many of VOCA’s members, our mission of preserving our heritage in Vermont’s cemeteries will continue on in a financially healthy manner. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible.
