Volunteers Still Sought For Town's 9/11 Memorial Observance

The 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks is only a few weeks away, and Lynnfield is planning a day of memorial activities to mark the occasion.

The Lynnfield 911 Committee is continuing to finalize its plan for a day-long observation this Sunday, Septmber 11.

Organizers could still use several dozen volunteers to help out with the day. Specifically, people are welcome to join the community choir, led by Douglas Hodgkins of Lynnfield High School, to sing a couple of songs during the memorial.

On Sunday, September 4, event organizers and volunteers will be out placing nearly 3,000 flags on the Lynnfield Common, to recognize each of the individuals who lost their lives that day. Those who would like to help out with this effort can come to the Common on Sunday, September 18 to help with the removal of the flags.

At this week's committee meeting, organizers also indicated that they are looking for somebody who may be able to help out with an event program. 

Donation checks to defray the cost of the event can be made out to Lynnfield 911 and sent c/o The Savings Bank, Attn: Ms. Janice Casoli, 351 Main Street, Wakefield, MA 01880.  To visit the official Lynnfield911 website, click here.
