Bexley Celebrations

A group of residents will be congregating at Drexel Circle at 6:00 PM on Sunday, September 11, 2011, for a remembrance ceremony.  There will be a flag ceremony led by the Boy Scouts, music from the Bexley High School Band, and a moment of silence.

Please spread the word to as many people as possible. This will be a time for Bexley to come together to commemorate the tragedy of 9-11-2001.
