ARTIFACT FROM WORLD TRADE CENTER HAS ARRIVED AT TOWN HALL
911 CEREMONY THIS SUNDAY AT 10 AM AT RICHARD PRESSER PARK---STEEL FROM WORLD TRADE CENTER TO BE DISPLAYED AT WALL
Please join The Town of Greenburgh, Rotary Clubs International, ArtsWestchester and Sam’s Clubs along with local officials, town department heads, community leaders and residents on Sunday, September 11, 20011 at 10:00am at “The People’s 9/11 Memorial Wall” on the lawn of Presser Park (former Webb Field), Central Avenue, (Hartsdale) in honor of Greenburgh residents whose lives were lost at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001. The event will include a re-dedication of The People’s 9/11 Memorial Wall. Composed of 1,800 mosaic tiles designed by local school children and residents from throughout the county, the monument began to lose tiles, two years ago, resulting in the need for major repair. A total of 1,711 tiles were salvaged by the Town of Greenburgh, Department of Parks and Recreation. This summer, they were repaired, cleaned and reassembled by a team of 41 volunteers led by Sarah Bracey White, Arts and Culture Director for the Town. The restoration was recently completed by Frank Pescetti, mason and longtime resident of East Irvington who has been in the business of installing tiles, stone and marble for over 25 years. The 9/11 Memorial Ceremony will also include choral selections by fifth grade students from Richard J. Bailey Elementary School, Greenburgh Central 7 School District. For more information contact the Town Clerks office at 993-1501. A steel remnant from the World Trade Center arrived at Greenburgh Town Hall today and will be permanently displayed at the 911 memorial wall. This will make our wall much more meaningful for those who want to reflect on the meaning of 911 in the future.
