Dear PARA Member,

This Saturday, February 26, the Port Authority family will mark the 29th anniversary of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Our fallen friends and colleagues – Robert Kirkpatrick, Stephen Knapp, William Macko, and Monica Rodriguez Smith and her unborn child – who, along with Windows on the World employee Wilfredo Mercado and visitor John DiGiovanni – lost their lives in the attack that also injured more than 1,000 others. 
 
The commemorative Mass will be shared online via Zoom on Saturday, February 26, at 10AM on panynj.gov as well as on the agency’s Facebook page. The venue for the service is St. Francis of Assisi Church.

The annual ceremony on the National September 11 Memorial Plaza will be shared online on www.911memorial.org.
 

Sincerely,


Your PARA Board

What is PARA?
The Port Authority Retirees Association (PARA), a not-for-profit corporation, was formed in 1989 to promote the welfare of retirees of the Port Authority (and PATH). That is accomplished by PARA advocating on behalf of Port Authority retirees. We foster and encourage legislation that maintains or improves our circumstances primarily as it affects the pensions of the New York State Retirement System. PARA has some 4,000 members residing in 39 states and 12 countries. It maintains an active affiliation with the Retired Public Employees Association (RPEA) and the Alliance of Public Retiree Organizations (APRO) representing some 500,000 retirees and beneficiaries in the New York State and Local Retirement System (NYSLRS).
