By Town Crier Staff Report

All Los Altos and Los Altos Hills residents are encouraged to save the evening of Sept. 11 for a special commemoration of last year’s tragedy.

“Remembering 9/11″ will be a one-hour community wide gathering scheduled for 6:30- 7:30 p.m., on the Hillview Soccer Field.

The program is particularly intended to be meaningful for families.

The event will recognize the impact of that horrific day a year ago when terrorists attacked New York City, Washington, D.C., and Virginia.

The evening will honor our own “Hometown Security Personnel” - the police, sheriff deputies and firefighters who protect residents 24/7.

Dr. Dick Henning of Foothill College will emcee the event. The program will include special music and presentations by guest speakers.

The event is being organized and hosted by a Steering Committee of local residents.

More details to follow next week.
