Ben has been a stalwart of the event since his time at EPA and it's been so much fun for me to see how the organization and event have grown since I started it more than 15 years ago. These days, I have the privilege of working with wonderful people like Ben and one of your former colleagues, Abe Haspel, who serves as one of my bosses on the Alice Ferguson Foundation's Board of Directors. Thanks for expressing interest in a visit to our outdoor education center and working farm. I was just out on our boardwalk earlier today with some of the regional Park Service leadership and we ran into an avid hunter/fisher who's also a birder. I couldn't have paid him to say more glowing things about our beautiful Piscataway Park and the work we do as a partner in interpreting this location. He travels national and internationally for his job with Benelli guns and he said, unsolicited, that this is one of his favorite spots on the planet. We hope you'll come down and see why! One of our signature events is coming up soon our annual Pinot on the Potomac wine tasting is next Saturday June 24th. I've attached our invitation, which includes a pre-reception in our new Cafritz Foundation Environmental Center building. We just achieved certification under the most stringent set of energy efficiency, high performance building standards in the world the Living Building Challenge. And we also scored the highest number of points EVER for a LEED certified building in the state of Maryland (and the second highest in the nation!). There are LOTS of ways to tackle natural resiliency! We'd love to invite you to join us as our guest. Ben I hope you and Karen and the kids plan to join us again this year too. Food is provided by James Beard Award winning chef Todd Gray, whose Equinox restaurant is always a favorite of whichever administration happens to be located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! If the 24th doesn't work for your busy schedule Scott, we hope we can identify a date soon for a visit. All the best, Lori Lori Arguelles Executive Director Alice Ferguson Foundation 2001 Bryan Point Road Accokeek, MD 20607 301 292-5665 (w) 202 441-6789 (c) larguelles@fergusonfoundation.org
