Lind community sets service in memory of 9/11

This Monday, a celebration of nation and community is planned at the Lind Senior Center in memory of Sept. 11, 2001, when al-Qaeda terrorists coordinated and executed four suicide attacks on American soil.

The evening will begin at 7 p.m. and will include a candlelight service, refreshments provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, catering by Cathy Jo’s Catering and the musical expertise of Janet Sackmann.
