My development is holding an outdoor candlelight ceremony at 8:00pm; someone in my development was murdered on 9/11.


This is a list of some of the things my city is doing:

My college is having a memorial ceremony at 5:30 in the afternoon with a bagpipe player, readings, and a moment of silence. Later in the evening there's a student organized candlelight vigil going on. The vigil on Sept 11 has sort of become tradition on campus.

Our town, Charlie, is have a memorial service in the morning outside village hall. Flag lowering, bagpipes, some remembrance speeches. A sad day for sure. My best for you, my friend, wish I was there to give you a {hug}, Charlie.

Sandy Patty is performing and they are having some kind of memorial service, I am not sure if I will be going. I am sure it will be very emotional and I am not sure if I will be able to handle it at this point.

I think there is a sorority doing something but no one else is allowed to go and the College Republicans are having a candlelight vigil and prayer tomorrow night.

I think that is all my campus is doing.
