SEPTEMBER 11th MEMORIAL

On September 11th, Absolut Care of Gasport will sponsor the seventh-annual 9/11 Memorial on the Canal at the Gasport Marina on Telegraph Road.

The event is meant to honor those lost in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and the members of local law enforcement agencies and emergency first responders.

Local emergency response units have been invited to prepare a display chronicling the history of each organization’s development and service in the community, including photo displays, historical information and vehicle demonstrations. The displays will be set up in the parking lot area at 3 p.m.

The memorial program will start at 4 p.m. and will include music, speakers, a blessing and a floral tribute on the canal. Students from Royalton-Hartland schools, community leaders and area clergy will participate. The event is free and open to the public.
