The Brewster Elks Lodge #2101 held a small but solemn remembrance ceremony for the victims of 9/11 at their lodge on Route 22 this past Wednesday evening.
Exhalted Rule Peter Priolo presided over the ceremony. In attendance were several elected officials including County Executive Maryellen Odell, County Legislator Joseph Castellano (D7-Brewster) Legislator Amy Sayegh (D8-Mahopac), Southeast Town Council Members Lynne Eckhardt and John Lord and Putnam County Sheriff Robert Langley.
NY State Assemblyman Kevin Byrne (94th Assembly District) was also in attendance and as he has done every year for the past few years, he gave a moving rendition of "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes during the ceremony
