If Mary Elizabeth Twiddy’s plans unfold as expected the 18th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks will be celebrated in Garner by acts of kindness and community building.
Mart Elizabeth Twiddy
She is asking people to do something to make the town a better place before the anniversary of the terrorist attacks and to share those acts with other community members during the September 11th Community Dinner.
The free dinner will be held at Logan’s Roadhouse in Garner from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., on Wednesday, SeptEMBER 11th.
There is no program at the event, just the sharing of stories in an informal setting. Participants can come late and leave early.
Twiddy, an Edward Jones financial advisor, wanted to commemorate the heroes of 9/11 and other first responders while celebrating community.
Participants are encouraged to go to Sept. 11 Community Dinner on Facebook and indicate that they plan to attend, although registration is not necessary. Participants who post their community-building activities on social media are encouraged to use #garner911giveback.
The primary purpose of the event is to honor first responders and to build community, but financial donations will be accepted. All funds received will be given to The 200 Club of Wake County.
The 200 Club provides immediate financial help to the families of area first responders who lose their lives in the line of duty. Ten families have been assisted since the club was started in 2000.
Logan’s Roadhouse is graciously sponsoring this event.
