In honor of the 20th Anniversary of September 11th, 2001, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone hosted beautification projects of 9/11 Memorials across the county to give residents an opportunity to honor this day in our country’s history.

President Megan Noble, Secretary Corey Peters & RYLA student Alex Scourtos of our club took part in beautifying a 9/11 Memorial located at the Deer Park Fire Department located at 94 Lave Ave in Deer Park.
