Dear Families and Friends,
Join us on Monday, September 10th for our annual Day of Remembrance Information Forum at the Marriott Downtown Hotel, located at 85 West Street in New York City. 9/11 families, rescue and recovery workers and survivors are invited to attend. Registration and exhibits open at 9:30am.
The day-long Forum includes informative presentations, 9/11 exhibits and a special preview of In Memoriam, the memorial exhibition that will be part of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. 9/11 Memorial President Joe Daniels will make remarks at 11:00am. Panel discussions are scheduled in the afternoon.
All are invited to join us at 5:30pm for an Interfaith Service at St. Peter's Church located on the corner of Barclay and Church Streets, just a few blocks from the 9/11 Memorial. The service will feature inspirational messages from clergymen representing many faiths. Galen Tate, our musical director, has planned another program of wonderful music.
