This year’s Steward Awards will be presented to Jessica Giannino and Altar’d State. SRWC President Debra Panetta stated, “Representative Giannino continues to be an environmental champion for Saugus and Revere, and I am delighted that Jessica will be receiving this award.” SRWC Executive Director Mary Lester is very excited for this award to be presented to Altar’d State – they have been such an environmentally minded and local supporting retailer.
This year’s event will also feature sale of holiday wreaths for $40 each. These handmade wreaths feature fresh woodland evergreens, pinecones and other decorative elements. Order online today and pick them up at the annual meeting. We will also be having silent auctions, raffles (including a kayak) and a 50/50. All proceeds will benefit the Council’s environmental education, SRWC scholarship and river restoration programs.
