[DEHC] Neponset River of the Past & Future

[Carly Rocklen]

Dear DEHC Members,

The Neponset River Watershed Association is holding a very special Annual
Meeting this year. It’s a celebration in honor of our 40th Anniversary – and
to celebrate in style, we’ve invited 2 speakers to present at the Meeting,
June 14. We’ll also be raffling off a kayak and a Kohler high-efficiency
toilet.

You’re invited to attend (please see description below), and please feel
free to forward the invitation to anyone you know who might be interested.
We hope to reach out to residents who are active in their communities and/or
the outdoors, who are interested in local history and land use planning, and
who might also be interested in helping to protect their local environment.

Thank you for considering –

Carly

Neponset River of the Past & Future

Please Join Us for the Neponset River Watershed Association’s 40th
Anniversary Annual Meeting <http://www.neponset.org/AnnualMtg07.htm> !

On the evening of June 14th, we’ll spend a festive evening in the modern,
light-filled building of the Reebok International Headquarters in Canton,
celebrating 40 years of environmental protection in the Neponset River
Watershed. We’ll hear two special presentations, enjoy drinks and hors d’
oeuvres, and participate in a raffle for an EMS kayak and a Kohler
high-efficiency toilet.

Local historian Anthony Sammarco will explore the Neponset River’s
industrial past and James Hunt, III, Boston’s Chief of Environmental and
Energy Services, will broach the Neponset’s future. Mr. Sammarco has written
50 books about Boston and produces a history column for the Milton Times. He
also serves as the curator of the Milton Historical Society and frequently
lectures on local history. Mr. Hunt is Mayor Thomas Menino’s lead advisor on
Environmental and Energy policy and oversees several City agencies including
the Environmental Department, Parks Planning and Boston’s Recycling Program.
He is especially interested in how parkland, restoration and economic
redevelopment projects along the Neponset River can increase river
protection while also improving public access.
