HONORING EMERGENCY WORKERS ON 9/11
 
In an era of global warming and oil spills, it's important to remember the  
Coast Guard and the emergency workers who respond to  problems on the  coast.   
In the years ahead,  we may need these professionals  more than ever and 
they'll need our  continued support.
 
On Tuesday, September 11th, at noon, there will be a gathering on the  
village green in Falmouth, Massachusetts, to say "thank you" to the Coast Guard  and 
local emergency workers.    The town's fire and police  departments will  
have speakers present.   The Medical Reserve Corps,  the American Red Cross, and 
Falmouth Hospital will be represented.
 
This is an annual event on Cape Cod and the public is invited.    There will 
be some reflection on the 9/11 events of the year 2001, and, also,  there will 
be some brief reflection on future problems that coastal and island  
communities face.  Environmentalists, scientists, and planners  who  are involved with 
 coastal studies are encouraged to join the  gathering.
 
Falmouth has had an interfaith  9/11 gathering every year, starting in  2001. 
  This year's event is sponsored by the Upper Cape Chaplaincy,  which is the 
interfaith organization that provides chaplaincy services at  Falmouth 
Hospital.     For additional information,   call Robert Murphy.  Telephone: (508) 
457-0449.
