Astorino joined Volunteer New York! and Robison to recognize four Westchester County residents who either save lives through their volunteer work or whose lives have been saved. The event took place outside the County Center in White Plains in order to encourage the public to participate in the “9/11 Serve + Remember” projects being organized throughout the county in honor of those whose lives were lost or forever changed by the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.
