9/11 Memorial with artifacts from the World Trade Center
to be constructed in the Mariposa County Arts Park
On September 11th, 2001 the World Trade Center
North Tower was stuck at 08:46 A.M., the
South Tower was hit at 09:03 A.M., seventeen minutes apart.
At that moment, America braced itself for coming events and
turned a full 360 degree circle, from a Nation at peace.
The remaining circumference of
that circle, less those 17 minutes
is 343, the number of NYFD
personnel, whom by duty made
the ultimate sacrifice, so that
others may have survived.

Early on the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen hijackers took
control of four commercial airliners en route to San Francisco and
Los Angeles from Boston, Newark, and Washington, D.C. Planes with
long flights were intentionally selected for hijacking because they
would be heavily fueled. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight
11 crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower, followed by
United Airlines Flight 175, which hit the South Tower at 9:03
a.m.
Another group of hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the
Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. A fourth flight, United Airlines Flight 93,
crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. local time after
the passengers on board engaged in a fight with the hijackers. Its
ultimate target is believed to have been either the Capitol or the
White House.
Nearly 3,000 victims and the 19 hijackers died in the attacks. Among the 2,753 victims who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center were 343 firefighters and 60 police officers from New York City and the Port Authority, and 8 private emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Another 184 people were killed in the attack on the Pentagon. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries.

 
A Fundraising effort is needed in order to raise the funds that are necessary to bring this dream to completion. To honor victims of the tragedy, and help build a lasting memorial, Tax Deductible donations can be made to the CMWC

California Arts Council Announces Arts License Plate Fees Are Charitable Deductions! A recent clarification is especially helpful for businesses and residents looking to support arts statewide. Sales & renewals of the Arts Plate account for over 60% of the CAC’s budget. Currently the state's per capita investment in the arts is around 10 cents per person even with the Arts Plate funds, putting California in last place compared to other states in the nation.
California Arts License Plate fees are charitable deductions to the State of California for tax purposes, according to the Franchise Tax Board. For more information about the California Arts License Plate, contact the California Arts Council's Communication Director Mary Beth Barber at (916) 322-6588, or mbarber@cac.ca.gov.
