Remembering 9/11
Wednesday, September 07, 2011
In honor of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, there will be many local opportunities to remember and reflect.
Rye Presbyterian Church will hold a special service Sunday, September 11, at 10 a.m. commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Congregants will be asked to submit various forms of expression of how they remember that day and those that perished.
The Locust Street Fire House and Gazebo adjacent to the Rye Library will hold a ceremony at 3pm on September 11 to honor those whom we have lost.
A USO 9/11 Remembrance Walk will take place in lower Manhattan on the morning of September 10. They anticipate 1,500 walkers to demonstrate support for the troops in one of the only large-scale events that New York City allowed to take place this weekend besides official government events. The proceeds from this event will fund vital USO programs and services that support our troops and their families, making a meaningful difference in their lives. The event is at Charles St & West St, New York (Hudson River Park, Pier 46) at 8:30am.
The Westchester County County Center and the Volunteer Center of United Way will hold a volunteer expo on Sept. 9 from 2-7pm as part of a nationwide effort to encourage vounteering that will help to match volunteers with agencies that need their help.
