Memorial Tree Dedication
In remembrance of the 9/11 tragedy, we hope to organize an event in Mace Park that would include a dedication ceremony for the two memorial trees we planted last fall. The memorial event would be an opportunity for us to come together as a neighborhood to remember those lost on that day, to celebrate the freedoms we all enjoy, & to spend time with our community of family & friends. In order to have such an event, we need a few volunteers to help plan it. Please contact Eric Sildon at 703-534-4646 to help coordinate this event. The first planning meeting will take place in June.
