Aquidneck Land Trust Wins Outstanding Achievement Award From Newport Chamber
Tuesday, November 08, 2011
Aquidneck Land Trust is the 2011 recipient of the Outstanding Community Achievement Award from the Newport County Chamber of Commerce. The non-profit conservation organization will be honored on November 18 at the Chamber’s Annual Dinner Dance and Silent Auction.
“The economic health of our community is integrally woven into our quality of life and quality of place,” said Jody J. Sullivan, Executive Director of the Newport County Chamber of Commerce. “The Aquidneck Land Trust has been a formidable force in preserving our open space and quality of place – especially important on an island with limited space and resources.”
The Annual Dinner Dance and Silent Auction will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel & Spa on Goat Island in Newport. The Auction will take place from 6 to 10 p.m., and include an array of donated gifts including Trinity Rep tickets, $75 to a Providence restaurant, boat charters, spa treatments, various getaways and two Celtics tickets in the owner’s box and dinner following the game.
