Arnone. “The County hosts the memorial ceremony each year to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11 and having the families participate would be an honor and a privilege for the County.”

“Every year, the County personally invites families of those who lost their lives on 9/11, but we know that people may move or there could be extended family who would like to help honor their loved ones,” said Commissioner Ross F. Licitra, liaison to the Monmouth County Park System. “We invite families to contact our offices if they are interested in participating in the memorial ceremony.”

Those interested in participating in the Monmouth County September 11 Memorial Ceremony are asked to email Lauren Bumbera at Lauren.Bumbera@co.monmouth.nj.us or Danielle Banyacski at Danielle.Banyacski@co.monmouth.nj.us by Friday, Sept. 3.
