Community to remember 9/11 at NKY memorial
CRESCENT SPRINGS – The Northern Kentucky 9/11 Memorial will be commemorated on Sunday, Sept. 11, starting at 7 p.m. at the Crescent Springs Community Park, 800 Buttermilk Pike in Crescent Springs. The public is invited. The Northern Kentucky 9/11Memorial was dedicated last year after more than three years of construction. More than 1,000 people came to the ceremony. At the site are renderings of the Twin Towers that once graced the New York skyline and a timeline of the actual events that occurred on 9/11/01. In the shape of a pentagon at the base, the memorial pays tribute to five groups deeply affected on that historic day, including firefighters, police, the airline industry, civilians and the Pentagon. At the center is an authentic I-beam from the Twin Towers that was secured from Ground Zero and placed at the memorial by Iron Workers Local 44. Judge-executive Kris Knochelmann and state Rep. Diane St. Onge will be featured speakers with WKRC’s news anchor John Lomax serving as emcee. This patriotic program will host the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, Ralph Fulton VFW Post 6423 and the Covington Police Department, represented with color guards, rifle teams and more.

ERLANGER – The city of Erlanger is looking for a few good men and women to volunteer. The city would like to start a Community Volunteer Program, said Joe Christofield, communications and public relations manager. Those who agree to volunteer would help assist with city activities and programs throughout the year. “Volunteers are important to a city because they help make activities and events more successful and create a sense of community,” Christofield Joe said. “By putting toChristofield gether a committee of volunteers it will allow us to have familiar faces for residents and for us who we can all depend on to help make our city better.” According to Councilman Bill Howard, a volunteer program gives residents and local businesses an opportunity to “take pride and ownership in their community by participating in programming and activities that matter most to them.” Activities and opportunities of service vary in the amount of time and dedication a volunteer wants to contribute to any one area of service, he said. The city parks program, a neighborhood watch, cleanup program, police and fire Explorers activities and the museum ambassador outreach program are just a few of the opportunities the city has available. “The requirements necessary for the volunteer program is a willingness to be present to promote the Erlanger’s outreach to its residents and neighbors, to listen and follow instruction, and to do it with smile and a positive disposition,” Howard said. According to Howard, volunteers are an important part of the community. “We need to remember the city is a community made up of a diversity of people who for one reason or another have chosen to reside here and make it their home,” he said. “By providing opportunities for volunteer programs the city leadership recognizes the importance of everyone’s part to be a thriving community who’s growth is in its residents and their desire to contribute to its past, present and future.” Those interested in volunteering should call 859-727-2525 or contact Joe Christofield at joe.christofield@cityoferlanger.com or Bill Howard at bill.howard@cityoferlanger.com Want to continue the conversation?
