(Page 3 of 3)

At the grand opening and dedication ceremony, the parents of Michael Mulhall offered moving remarks, along with Supervisor Murray. Two ANCHOR participants also gave inspiring and uplifting comments. Murray made a special presentation to ANCHOR Program Director Joe Lentini, calling him “her anchor.” A dedication wreath was placed at the steps of the building, and the Town Board presented two Crape Myrtle shrubs to the Mulhall and Malone families. The hearty shrubs were planted as a living tribute to the legacy of the three fallen counselors.

The day’s program concluded with a festive ribbon cutting, a tour of the facilities and a luncheon hosted by the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association.

“The ANCHOR Program is the heart and soul of Hempstead Town,” said Murray. “The three young people for whom this building is named will live on through the legacy of love and hope that is written across the faces of the children of ANCHOR. Welcome to our new ANCHOR home.”
