United Way thanks those who helped

MONTICELLO — Liberty Troop F troopers Greg Brewer, left and Van Furman are pictured on June 20 at the meeting of the Sullivan County Legislature, where Sullivan County United Way director Linda Cellini, center, distributed certificates of appreciation to the people and organizations who had stepped up to help following the September 11 terrorism attack in New York City last year.

Sullivan County raised over $45,000, plus thousands of relief items, Cellini reported.

Presenting an award to the state police, Cellini said local troopers, pressed into duty in Manhattan following the attack, would stop and load their patrol cars with relief items at United Way, as they went into New York City on shift changes.
