Acton 9/11 Memorial Family Fun Day Fundraiser
To help kick-start the fundraising effort for a new Acton 9/11 Memorial, the Acton 9/11 Committee are organizing an exciting day out for the family on Sunday, May 23rd. The “Family Fun Day” will include lots of fun things to do for both kids and parents, and of course The Grumpy Pete LargeCar. Fun begins at 9 am at the Acton Car Wash on Rt 2A, so mark your calendar now and help our town honor those who lost their lives on 9/11.
The new memorial is being constructed to mark the ten-year anniversary of 9/11, and will use two pieces of structural steel salvaged from the World Trade Center – the steel has been offered by the The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for use in public memorials.
The new design will incorporate the existing memorial into the new one and will honor the victims in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The memorial is estimated to cost $20,000 and will be paid for by donations and fund-raising.
