52 and Counting

by Kathy Meyer


Fifty people attended our 52nd Annual Meeting and Dinner on May 6th at Westwood's in Westfield. Joan Kimball, Director of the Riverways Program, brought us up-to-date on the latest activities of her program, including a statewide project to measure bridges and culverts in Massachusetts to insure safe passage for aquatic life as roads are built or repaired. Mike Young is coordinating this project for WRWA.

Jeff Penn, WRWA member and Huntington resident, won the Waite Award for his work in preserving land by working with landowners to protect and preserve their property, as well as generously giving his time by serving on the Wild and Scenic Committee, Jacob's Ladder Trail Group and other environmental issues. Jeff's enthusiasm and boundless energy on behalf of our watershed inspire all of us.

We were especially pleased that State Representative Don Humason joined us for this evening, listening to what is important to us. A special thanks to Dan Call for heading the Nominating and Waite Award Committee.
