The Santa Monica Bay Restoration Foundation will celebrate 25 years of advocating for
the Santa Monica Bay on October 17th. This is the first anniversary event
the organization has ever held, and its theme is the accomplishments and
stories about the Bay itself told through the eyes of many—from environmental
advocates, recreators and patrons to scientists, businesses and government officials—who have a strong connection to the Bay.
Honorees include former U.S. Representative Mel
Levine; environmental attorney and former Chair, Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, David Nahai; and CA State Senator Fran Pavley. Sheila
Kuehl will emcee the evening. The first Urban Coast Environmental Hero Award will be presented at the event to Suzanne Goode, CA Dept. of Parks and
Recreation. For more information, tickets, sponsorship opportunities and
stories about the Bay, please go to http://www.santamonicabay.org/smbrf25.html.
Signature dishes created for the 25th celebration that feature sustainable and locally caught Santa Monica Bay seafood will be
served, along with hors d’oeuvres and premium organic wine from Frey
Vineyards.
