Public, Socially-Distanced 9/11 Ceremony Friday At Town Hall

MADISON, CT — There will be a public, in-person ceremony Friday at Memorial Town Hall to mark the 19th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on our nation, First Selectwoman Peggy Lyons announced Wednesday.

She said that the town, in coordination with civic organizations, will be honoring those individuals lost on 9/11 with a socially-distanced public ceremony Friday at 6 p.m. in light of the coronavirus public health emergency.

"During this state of emergency, the tragedy of 9/11 is of even greater significance for those interested in public service," Lyons said.

"We encourage all our citizens to commemorate this tragedy through greater volunteerism during the Days of Caring which will run from September 11th through September 18th," Lyons said, adding that both Madison Youth and Family Services and the Madison Senior Center have been "actively coordinating volunteer and charitable programs to help those in Madison who are struggling during this economic and public health crisis."

"Please do not hesitate to reach out to Scott Cochran at cochrans@madisonct.org or Austin Hall at halla@madisonct.org to find ways you can help," Lyons said.

"Let’s take some time this week to reflect upon all the sacrifices being made by our first responders and healthcare works to protect us during these challenging times," she said with her usual sign-off in her Wednesday messages to the community, "Stay safe and healthy Madison."
