April Meeting
Although our April Meeting was lightly attended, those who came got
to hear our Guest Speaker, Lee Ielpi
give a presentation about the World Trade Center Tribute Center.
The Tribute Center was conceived in early 2003 by
Jennifer Adams and Lee Ielpi of the September 11th Families Association.
The Tribute Center is located in the former Liberty Deli at 120 Liberty Street, directly across from Ground Zero. In the aftermath of 9/11, the deli became a station where meals were served to rescuers often by celebrities who came to volunteer and give the tired workers a boost. Later, the deli became a distribution point for equipment like gloves,
socks, respirators, eye drops and tools.
From the start, Tribute aimed to present many diverse points of view in order to give visitors a sense of the broad impact of the tragedy. In addition to describing the terrible human toll, it was important to tell the story of residents displaced for months, businesses shut down and the extraordinarily powerful stories of people's resilience and the
generosity of spirit that filled the city after 9/11.
Lee asked for volunteers at the Meeting.
A few of the members present stepped up and agreed to help.
We thank Lee for an informative presentation.
If anyone who was not present would like to help with the
Walking Tours please call (212) 422-3520 Ex.112
