For Immediate Release

Ms McGrane, one of Felhaber's health care attorneys, was a participant in "Listening to the City," an initiative led by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), the Port Authority of New York and the Port Authority of New Jersey. 5000 New Yorkers gave input regarding the future use of the World Trade Center site. Sara was one of 500 (volunteer) facilitators, selected from over 2500 applicants, that oversaw the interactive process. Why did she volunteer to spend a weekend in New York City, investing her personal time and resources?

" I was excited to be asked to volunteer because like so many people in the United States, and in the world, it was so frustrating to not be able to offer real assistance after the 9-11 tragedy. Being able to meet family members of victims, rescue workers, and others directly affected by the tragedy was such a wonderful experience. Being able to help them communicate their goals for the rebuilding of the WTC site made me feel like I was able to make a small contribution toward the tremendous effort New Yorkers are making. "
