Put It Above Ground

To All,

I received a call from Wendy Pelligrino today.

It appears that there was an electrical fire at Angels Circle that caused some damage and will require the replacement of the utility pole as well as some major electrical work.

The total cost will be well over $1,500.

As you know Angels Circle is probably the most personal 9/11 memorial in the world.

And Wendy maintains it and holds ceremonies for the 9/11 families and never asks anything in return.

Well here is our chance to help her out.

I have asked her to forward the full details so that I can pass them along.

In the meantime Sam Esposito has donated $500 from his son’s foundation and Where to Turn will match that donation.

In this season of giving I ask all of my friends to make a small donation to cover the remainder of the costs and to allow Wendy to continue to honor our lost loved ones with her great work at Angels Circle.

No contribution is too small

Donations can be made payable to

To All,

Attached please find a link to some preliminary drawings of the Hearts and Hands 9/11 Memorial at Seaview.

We are currently scheduling the clearing out of the garden area and the interior of the rotunda.

We will be sending out letters to our local officials as a follow up to our meetings and to get their commitment of support.

We are aware that government money will be tight but we will be moving forward.

We will be finalizing our discussions with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and hope to schedule a meeting with them at the site.

We are also planning a meeting with members of the Board of Directors of Seaview to get them more involved in the project.

We are also looking for benefactors as we will need to raise at least $1 million in donations next year.

If you have any connections with corporations please make them aware of our plans.

At this time we are asking for your support.

If you are able a tax deductible donation would be greatly appreciated.

Contributions at any level would be greatly appreciated.

If that is not possible we ask you to spread the word about this memorial or should I say your memorial.

Help us spread the word to everyone as to what we are planning.

A memorial for the 9/11 families, for the responders, and for everyone that still feels the pain of that tragic day and feels as we do that those who died on 9/11 and those who continue to die as a result of 9/11 deserve a personal memorial that remembers who they were and who they continue to be in our hearts.

Please join us in giving all of them what they deserve.
