Members of the Rensselaer County Legislature welcomed two Hoosick Falls Girl Scouts who designed a special remembrance quilt for the 10th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The quilt was designed by Sarah Sigot and Tiffany St. Hilaire and includes depictions of American ideals and values and events that occurred during the terrorist attacks.
Vice Chairman of the Legislature Stan Brownell and Legislator Lester Goodermote, who represent the towns of Stephentown, Berlin, Petersburgh, Grafton, Hoosick and the Village of Hoosick Falls, welcomed Sarah and Tiffany to the September Legislative meeting to recognize the girls for their work in compiling the remembrance quilt.
“This is a very moving tribute to the events of that sad day ten years ago. It is our hope that this quilt will be viewed by as many residents as possible to help ensure the sacrifice and heroism of that day is never forgotten,” said Brownell.
Sarah and Tiffany displayed the quilt at the September Legislative meeting, where they were presented with a resolution recognizing their work.
“Both Sarah and Tiffany did an outstanding job with this quilt, and we are proud to have been able to welcome them to our chambers and recognize the effort that went into putting this quilt together,” added Goodermote.
