Description: Please consider joining us in celebration of KEC’s 40th year of advocacy and action! We are planning a dinner event at The Rusty Nail, KEC’s first business recycler when KEC took over the city of Kent’s Recycling Center in 1979. Cost is $30 per person.

The Second Generation will speak to KEC
As a special keynote speaker for this event, we have invited Kenneth Meade, son of KEC’s long-time activist Ruth Meade (who died in 1999) and a well-established attorney who specializes in environmental law at a Washington D.C. firm.

Looking back and looking forward
A Celebration Subcommittee has been preparing a time line to document the history of KEC from 1970 to 2010 to be on display that evening. To help us look back over those years, we invite you to share with us your memories of the experience(s) you’ve had as a member of KEC or as a participant in KEC-sponsored activities.
