Remembering 9/11
A Time and Space To Be Together and Reflect on 9/11 with Silence, Words and Music will be held at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11, at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Martha’s Vineyard.
This will be a time of reflection and of sharing of our remembrances, concerns and sorrows with Rev. Polly Leland-Mayer and with each other. Readings to share will be welcomed.
The Unitarian Universalist chapel is located at 238 Main street in Vineyard Haven. It is a welcoming congregation and is universally accessible.
It was the day tropical storm Hanna was supposed to hit and, as luck would have it, Michael Domitrovich was stuck inside with a chest cold. Despite the weather and the nagging cough, Mr. Domitrovich declared himself a lucky man.
