We want to thank everyone that participated in the 7th annual Carlos Lillo Memorial Fund Golf outing. As is always the case, we had an enjoyable and a great golf day. For next year we wanted to get an early start therefore we scheduled the 8th annual golf outing for Monday July 27, 2008 at the Stonebridge Golf country club. Please, add this day to your calendar and let other friends and family know about this great event. As we are getting closer to our 10th anniversary, we are also contemplating the idea of having the golf outing at Myrtle Beach, SC. However, to help us with our decision, we would like to get an idea how many people think they maybe attending so we added a poll to this web site for you to vote and let us know. Nonetheless, here are some of the pictures taken during the 2008 Golf outing at Stonebridge Country Club in Long Island NY:

Assemblyman Michael Gianaris (D-Queens), Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe and the family of Carlos Lillo gathered on October 2, 2008 to officially open Carlos Lillo Memorial Park in Astoria, Queens. Joining them at the ceremonial opening were representatives of the FDNY and EMS services, Queens elected officials, civic leaders, and children from nearby P.S. 2.
Carlos Lillo, a New York City paramedic from Astoria, died on September 11, 2001, while responding to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
Assemblyman Gianaris obtained state funding for the acquisition and development of the park and worked tirelessly to see the park through from idea to completion.
"Carlos Lillo was a credit to our community through his hard work as a paramedic long before September 11, 2001," said Assemblyman Gianaris. "It is fitting to recognize the achievements and sacrifice of this local hero by building this park in his name."

On September 11,2001, Paramedics Carlos Lillo and Roberto Abril responded to the World Trade Center in Ambulance 485/ Medic 49 Victor, assigned to Battalion 49 in Astoria Queens. Carlos Lillo lost his life that day in the collapse. Roberto Abril survived and remains an active Paramedic with FDNY.
A 1997 Ford F-350/Horton, Ambulance 485 also survived the attack. Following decontamination, the still scarred bus remained in service until October 2004. It was donated to the New York State Museum, Albany NY, where it was featured as part of a year long exhibit- Help is Here- a History of EMS in New York State. It remains on permanent display in the museum.

Virtual Disasters: EMS Training Goes High-Tech
George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute recently released ZERO HOUR: America's Medic, downloadable courseware developed to train EMS providers and first responders. The National Emergency Medical Preparedness Institute project uses game-based learning (also known as "serious gaming") to teach and practice EMS operational response to large-scale disasters.
The scenarios are set in five different locations. Each of the locations directly correlates to large and mid-sized urban environments. In addition to being a training tool, ZERO HOUR is also a memorial to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The game takes place in the fictional city of Saint Lillo, named in honor of FDNY SOD EMS paramedic Carlos Lillo, who was killed in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Other streets and building names honor the other EMS providers killed on that day.

In October of 2004 the Community Board 1 approved the construction of a new community park to be dedicated in honor of Carlos Lillo, an Astoria emergency medical technician who was killed in the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Assembyman Michael Gianaris secured more than $150,000 in state funds to acquire and develop the park at 76th Street and 21st Avenue. The property is currently used as a storage site for a construction company.
The event to dedicate the park is schedule for October 2, 2008.
The plan to build Carlos Lillo Park must still get approval from Queens Borough President Helen Marshall and the Department of City Planning. The Parks Department must also negotiate with the property owner in order to acquire the land.
