10:30am update: power restored to Community Center

09/02/2026

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, a day that changed our country forever. Thousands of innocent lives were lost, including several members of our Summit community.

The collective grief we experienced in the aftermath of this tragedy was softened only somewhat by the love and support we extended to each other in the days, weeks, and months that followed. Today, we continue to honor the family, friends, and neighbors we lost, and our brave police, fire, and EMS personnel who courageously and selflessly responded to the scene to help anyone they could.

We invite you to participate in our Digital Remembrance Wall and share a personal tribute in the comments of this post; your memories from that day, a story about a lost loved one, or a message of hope to share with others. Every memory shared can foster a conversation that will help a new generation understand the story and legacy of 9/11 and reaffirm our promise to never forget.

Individuals without Facebook/Instagram access who wish to participate can email their message to [email protected] and we will post it in the comments.
