Join us on Yom Kippur Afternoon to create special memorial projects as a way to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
We will join together as a community to create both individual and communal projects that remind us of the individuals who were taken from us on 9/11/2001, as well as the impact 9/11 has had on our greater community. We request a minimal donation per adult (children are included with adult registration) that will go to our Sunshine Fund, a way to help the greater community. |
