The Farmingdale Community Summit Council (FCSC) needs your help. Each year we hold Farmingdale Remembers at the Farmingdale Library. Farmingdale Remembers is the community's annual observance commemorating the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The brief ceremony honors and remembers those who perished and those we lost from exposure to health hazards at Ground Zero, it pays tribute to those who served so unselfishly in the recovery operation, and it shows our continued support for all those who were affected by the events of 9/11/01.
The original monuments (the remembrance stone, dedication poem and the names of the community members who perished on that day) were joined by two benches (at the Summit’s expense) that have the names of our community members who have passed from their exposure on that infamous day. Our ceremony each year now includes the reading of the additional names added to our memorial benches.
The Summit’s main two goals are to provide family assistance to community members and to continue to hold Farmingdale Remembers and add additional names (unfortunately) to the benches as they are needed. This coming year, like most, we anticipate adding additional names.
The cost to add names is a minimum of $1000 for each occurrence. We hope that you and/or your organization/business can find it in your heart and budget to make a donation to help fund the costs of the initial benches and the on-going cost to add names as needed each year.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss making a donation, please feel free to contact Dan Kornfeld, our Donation Coordinator. Donations can be made out to the Farmingdale Community Summit Council and mailed to 116 Merritts Road, Farmingdale, NY 11735. You can also use Pay Pal.
The Farmingdale Community Summit Council is a registered 501 c3 charity, so your donation is tax deductible.
We hope you can assist so we can continue to Remember.
With warm regards and thanks,
Farmingdale Summit Executive Board
