Local ministers request Sept. 11 Service of Remembrance on courthouse lawn

Representatives of the Rhinelander Ministerial Association requested use of the Oneida County Courthouse lawn for a Service of Remembrance on Friday, Sept. 11 at 10:00 a.m. to mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Lindsey Kennedy told the committee Meredith Albright, priest at St. Augustine Episcopal Church, called to request the event; Kennedy said organizers indicated they would not need Buildings & Grounds equipment but might have a few fire trucks and a high school band outside the courthouse. Because the courthouse is a public facility, Kennedy said the organizers were welcome to hold the event there. The committee took no formal action; the report was informational only.

No county equipment requests were recorded in the minutes, and staff said they would note the request for coordination as a courtesy.
