7:00 pm: Rain or shine, a brief 9/11 memorial service and wreath-laying is planned for 7 p.m. Monday at the Community Building and fire station on Broad Creek Road by Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department.

Building of the 9/11 Memorial was a community effort as volunteers from Fairfield Harbour and members of the fire department came together to design, plan and construct the memorial. The memorial includes actual girders from the World Trade Center. The transportation to New Jersey to bring the girders back to Fairfield Harbour was led by Marshal Van Winkle of Bridgeton. Fairfield Harbour resident and architect, Betsy Conzelman, provided the 9/11 Memorial design.
