“New York Says Thank You” in Silverside Church’s Cline Hall. “New York Says Thank You” is an epic story of healing and patriotic heroism
that charts the journey of four New Yorkers whose lives were touched by September 11 —as they travel the country to help communities
rebuild after their own disasters. Along the way, these individuals grow, face their emotions, and ultimately triumph over tragedy through
an amazing community effort that evolved from a five-year-old New York City boy’s idea to help others. This feature-length documentary
film casts a hopeful light in the shadow of the tragic day as, every September; New Yorkers are joined by an ever-growing group of
disaster survivors and volunteers from around the country to pay forward the support they once received. For more information on the
film visit http://newyorksaysthankyoumovie.com/.
