The Parks are here! On behalf of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, I am proud to announce that the first Greenway Gala will take place at the Boston Harbor Hotel on Friday, October 3, 2008, at 6:00 PM.

The Greenway Gala will bring together the Conservancy’s founding Board of Directors with many business and community leaders in an evening of celebration and recognition of a vision that has now become a reality –  the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. It will also be the perfect way to set the tone for a weekend filled with festivities and fun in celebration of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Opening Event.

Further information about the event is listed below. I truly hope that you will be able to join us in this wonderful celebration.

Sincerely,

George A. Russell, Jr.
Executive Vice President, State Street Corporation
Chair, Greenway Gala
