WPCNR RECALL. From the White Plains Department of Recreation and Parks. August 29, 2014:

This year, the City of White Plains will remember and honor those who lost their lives and worked to help others on September 11, 2001 in two special ways.
The City of White Plains Personnel Department and the American Red Cross will host a blood drive on Tuesday, September 9th at City Hall, 255 Main Street, 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Donating just one pint of blood can save up to three lives and is a truly meaningful way to give back to our community and our country, and to honor the heroes of 9/11. Participation is open to all. Pre-registration is available at www.redcrossblood.org. Please use sponsor code WPCITYHALL.
