Keynote Presentation:  Images of Lake Quannapowitt

Local authors Alison Simcox and SRWC Vice President Douglas Heath will present a lively narration along with historic photos and images from their new book, "Images of Lake Quannapowitt".  The book chronicles the unique history of Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, which forms the headwaters of the Saugus River watershed.  Alison and Doug will also be on hand to sign copies of the book for guests interested in purchasing them at the dinner. 

Local 'Whistleblowers' to Receive River Stewardship Awards

Please join us in honoring this year's recipients of River Stewardship Awards.  Brady Howard and Octavio Frietas will receive River Stewardship Awards for their role as 'whistleblowers' in a case which resulted in a $7.5 million settlement by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office against Wheelabrator to resolve allegations of environmental violations at their waste incineration facilities in Saugus and other locations in Massachusetts earlier this year. 

SRWC Director Joan LeBlanc will provide highlights of the Council's 2011 programs and accomplishments, and officers and board members will be elected during a brief business meeting.  

This event is open to the general public.  Admission is $25 per person including a delicious dinner buffet featuring sirloin tips, baked scrod, chicken parmigiana, roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, salad, fruit, rolls, chocolate cake, coffee and tea.  Cash bar available.  RSVP required.
