As the 7th anniversary of Sept.11th approaches, we would like to invite all of you to be a part of a very special 9/11 Memorial being erected in Columbia County. A brainchild of Girl Scout Service Unit 126, this memorial will be located in the Volunteer Town Park, Valatie, NY. Open for anyone to visit, to remember, to reflect.

 Our Goal is to cover the tower and walls with hand painted tiles, 1 tiles for each life lost - 2947 people perished during the events of 9/11. The plan is to have all the tiles finished for the unveiling. Though we have  a great start, There are still many, many, more tiles to be painted.

This is your chance to  be part of History. Together we will create a unique tribute. The Girl Scouts will lead a parade to the unveiling on 9/7/08 at 1pm. There will be a candle light vigil on the evening of 9/11/08.

You don't need to be an artist to participate. Our Staff Will provide you with the instruction, ideas, and simple tools to make painting these tiles easy.

The cost is $10.00 for the first tile, each additional is $6.00

Please join us to paint your 9/11 Memorial Tile
