A Dinner to Benefit and Celebrate
the American Elms of Castine
2008 Press Release
On Tuesday,
June 24th at 5:30 p.m., the Pentagoet Inn
will host the 5th annual benefit dinner to
support the preservation of Castine’s historic elm trees
and for replanting where appropriate.
The theme for
this year’s dinner will be Caribbean, and a full-house
crowd is anticipated. The event will begin with
cocktails on the porch followed by a four-course
dinner. The cost for the event is $58 per person.
This last year
has been devastating to Castine trees in general as a
result of four major storms, including the September
microburst. Castine lost 14 elm trees during the
microburst and two others due to dutch elm disease. An
inventory of on-neck elm trees will be undertaken in the
next few weeks, which will result in a full report as to
condition and maintenance requirements of our elm trees.
