NVC's model of expressing appreciation involves:

a. The actions that have contributed to our well-being,

b. The particular needs of ours that have been fulfilled,

c. The pleasureful feelings engendered by the fulfillment of those needs.

A brief history of our involvement in the community.

September 11^th Memorial (2006)

We remember that fateful day

When Sweet Lady Liberty

Wept tears of agony

Tragedy

Tearing her heart open

She wore the black shroud of a country in mourning

While a grief stricken world wept tears for a nation sorrowing

Nearly 3000 sacrificed souls

3000 families needing to be consoled

Heroic deeds

And hero's fallen

Tear filled eyes

Red

And swollen

People united giving consolation

For those stricken by this tribulation

We remember you in our prayers

Sometimes this world is so unfair

In our hearts and minds your memories live

We wonder if you would wish to forgive

Those who've done these terrible deeds

Then help those round the world in need

We remember you

We remember you with plaques and ceremonies

We remember you with tributes and stories

Statues and monuments are being erected

As a reminder for those affected

We remember you

You've been laid to rest

But you're not gone

Your Spirits

Still live on

Lady Liberty remembers you.
