The South Park Township Board of Supervisors, in conjunction with Windover Hills U.M. Church, is again sponsoring a ‘September 11th Remembrance Ceremony’ that will be held, rain or shine, on Wednesday, September 11, 2019, at 6:30 p.m.
The informal gathering will take place at Sunny Slope in the Allegheny County Park and will recognize the members of the departments who are the first to respond to any emergency in South Park Township. Members of the Allegheny County Police Department and the Sheriff's Department will also be in attendance. Active military personnel and veterans will be honored at the event due to the many sacrifices these men and women have made and continue to make on behalf of our country. Other participants include the boy scouts, girl scouts, and local performers. Everyone is invited to attend the memorial ceremony which will include patriotic songs and the distribution of American flags. The boy scouts will be collecting old, worn flags that will be retired at a later date during a formal ceremony.
The parking lot of Windover Hills U.M. Church can be used to accommodate any parking overflow, and the church will be used for the ceremony in the event of rain. Refreshments will be served immediately after the ceremony at Windover Hills U.M. Church Fellowship Hall. Please join us on September 11th to reflect on this poignant event.
