[SEMCO] Hurricane Season: Emergency Services Workers Honored

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

HONORING  THE WORKERS
 
The Labor Day weekend is approaching and we're at the height of hurricane  
season.
 
On Cape Cod, residents pause every year on 9/11 to honor emergency services 
 workers.   The 9/11
tragedies from the year 2001 are remembered.    So this is  an anniversary 
event.    However:   It is
also a time to honor the people - including the Coast Guard  personnel,  
the firefighters and police
officers, the medical workers, etc. - who help coastal residents and who  
respond to some difficult situations.
If our coastal region suffers through an oil spill, or coastal flooding,  
we'll call these folks.
 
In Falmouth, the 9/11 gathering takes place at Falmouth  Hospital.   This 
year's event will start at
noon, at the flag pole in front of the Lilly Lobby.    All  people are 
invited.    This is an interfaith event
that is coordinated by the Falmouth Clergy Association and the Upper Cape  
Chaplaincy with support
from the Falmouth Hospital.
 
For additional information, please call Rev. Sally Miller, who is one of  
the hospital chaplains.
Telephone: (508) 457-1339.
