In anticipation of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the VOICES organization is creating a 911 Living Memorial at www.911livingmemorial.org. VOICES staff will be at the library to meet one-on-one with 9/11 families, survivors, rescue and recovery workers, and those who responded. Participants are invited to bring photographs, written tributes, eulogies, biographies, newspaper articles and other personal keepsakes that will create a meaningful legacy to honor those who died, and to document personal stories for future generations. Unless otherwise arranged, all materials will be returned at the workshop. VOICES encourages everyone affected by the 9/11 attacks to attend. Individual appointments will last approximately 90 minutes. Reservations are required due to limited space. Contact Michelle Doherty at [email protected] or call (203)966-3911 to schedule an appointment or for information on how to participate by mail or email.
