DeKalb Beautification

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Rain Barrel Workshop!

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families, first responders, military personnel, and communities forever impacted by that day.

We honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who responded, and we remember the strength and unity that brought people together in the days that followed.

May We Never Forget.
May We Always Remember.
September 11, 2001
