September 7, 2010 —
In reverence to 9/11, a local check cashing company is paying a visit to local emergency agencies to express gratitude for their service. Employees of Cash Express located on Main Street will be making those visits on Sept. 10.
Cash Express Store Manager Stephanie Craft said emergency crews deserve being recognized.
“We would like to thank the officers on duty for all they have done to protect us,” Craft said. “The events of 9/11 remind us of how they lay their lives down every day for us. This is a way for Cash Express to give back to the community. We host a Christmas coat and toy drive as well as the 9/11 event.”
Craft described how the 9/11 event is conducted.
“We generally pick the closest day next to the 11th and we meet them at one station to give them cakes,” Craft said. “For those who cannot make it that day, we deliver the cakes to their offices throughout the day.”
“Every year since that tragic day in 2001, employees at Cash Express stores in Morehead, across Kentucky and Tennessee and throughout the nation have visited first responders in early September to make a simple yet thoughtful gesture: they have delivered cakes to police and fire stations,” said Cash Express employee Garry McNabb.
This year, Cash Express employees will be meeting emergency crews at 11 a.m.
“Small gestures can carry big messages,” McNabb said. “Cash Express is simply doing what many Americans feel on 9/11, a sense of thanks and respect for first responders. The tragic events on 9/11 unfortunately remind us that life can be too short, so we must say thanks and express our gratitude when we can,” McNabb said.
