The Newton Police Memorial Association has stepped up in a significant way to support the Newton 9-11 Memorial effort, not only providing us with the largest single contribution to date, but also offering to provide ongoing maintenance for the memorial. We cannot thank them enough!
For their very generous donation today. Pictured from the right is Cheryl P. Santee, Assistant Vice President at Rockland Trust’s Newtonville branch with Committee Founder and President Sande Young and Joe LaMacchia of Joe LaMacchia Landscape, Inc.

Thanks to the wonderful people at NewTV, we were able to film several public service announcements about September 11 and about our effort to create a September 11 memorial. Several were shot and can be seen by clicking the links below. Special thanks to all the public officials who took the time out of their busy schedules to tape these messages.
