Dear Families and Friends,
There are only 10 spots left for the luncheon cruise for family members which will embark from the World Financial Center Ferry Terminal after the September 11th Commemoration and reading of the names. If you or your family members would like to attend, we encourage you to call us today to make your reservation. The cost of the luncheon is $25. Please call Debbie Westfal at 203-966-3911 or email her at dwestfal@voicesofsept11.org.
There is still time to reserve your place for the September 10th Day of Remembrance Information Forum and the Interfaith Service! 9/11 Families, Recovery and Rescue Workers and Survivors are encouraged to attend. Both events are free, but space is limited and reservations are required.
The Information Forum will be held at the Marriott Downtown Hotel, located at 85 West St in NYC. Registration and exhibits open at 9:30am. We are very excited that this year's event will include a special exhibit of the 9/11 Museum's memorial exhibition. Attendees will be able to preview two of the media components of the memorial exhibition that will inform museum visitors about each of the 2,983 lives lost in the attacks.
Museum President Joe Daniels and Director Alice Greenwald will offer a Presentation at 11:00 am.
The day-long conference will also include roundtable discussion, presentations by subject matter experts and inspirational messages. For a full schedule of the presenters and the subjects to be covered, click here.
Throughout the day, Living Memorial workshops will be held and representatives of the NYC Medical Examiner's office will be available to meet with family members. There will be exhibits of 9/11 artwork and the opportunity to participate in interactive projects.
Join us after the Forum, or after work, for an Interfaith Service to be held at 5:30 pm at St. Peter's Church on Barclay Street. This will be a very meaningful way to come together as a community on the Eve of the 11th Anniversary to remember those lost on 9/11 and honor the sacrifices made by rescue and recovery workers and survivors.
If you would like to join us for the Information Forum or the Interfaith Service, please make a reservation by contacting Debbie Westfal at 203-966-3911 or email her at dwestfal@voicesofsept11.org.
We hope you can join us!
Warm Regards
Mary Fetchet & the VOICES Staff
