The 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance was commemorated today by State Sen. Carol Liu, the "Liu Crew" of volunteers, and TreePeople, who planted trees today on the 2400 block of Highland Ave. Thanks to reader and community journalist Karen TenEyck, who was there with her camera:
Organizer Kate Sullivan is staffing the refreshment table. UPDATE: Food was contributed by Panera (bagels & assorted cream cheese), Whole Foods (box-o-bananas, orange juice, milk, half & half), Starbucks (coffee) Ralphs (water) Vons (ice).
Sen. Liu (in the blue hat) and crew position the Golden Trumpet tree (and our readers had a lot to say about THAT).
The crew aligns the tree before planting.
