Years after her daughter, Ann, died in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, Jenette Nelson found Ann's "bucket list" on her old laptop. Buying or building a home in North Dakota was on that list, along with volunteering for a charity. Last week, more than 500 volunteers traveled to a remote corner of the state to help build "Annie's House." In keeping with Ann's passion for skiing and volunteer work, the "house" will actually be an 11,000 square foot ski lodge, built to accommodate disabled children and injured U.S. troops. The organization behind Annie's House is a charity called "New York Says Thank You." Created after 9/11, the volunteers include New York City firefighters, ground zero construction workers, and 9/11 families who travel the country helping communities rebuild.
