Dear friends,

I am delighted to inform you that the Board of Trustees of the National Park Trust chose Congressman John Lewis to receive this year's Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award. This award was established to recognize those in public service who have demonstrated a lifetime of distinguished skill, resourcefulness or innovation in the preservation of land, water or historic resources for the legacy of America.

The Award Dinner was held on April 22nd, 2004, at the  Hyatt Regency Washington, Capitol Hill, located at 400 New Jersey Avenue, NW, Washington, DC  20001. 

This was an exceptional event attended by Congressional leaders, Conservation leaders, private citizens and National Park Service staff.

The parks are faced with challenging times and we need to thank and to celebrate those who contribute to their preservation.

Best Regards,

Paul C. Pritchard
President
