Mark Your Calendars for Clambake XXXIV, sponsored by Lloyd Center for the Environment

Apr 8, 2019

It’s time to mark your calendar and secure your ticket to one of the summer’s most popular events, the Lloyd Center for the Environment’s Clambake XXXIV “Celebrating Science and Education!”

By the side of the sea, at Demarest Lloyd State Park in Dartmouth, this year's event will take place on Friday, July 12. Please visit https://lloydcenter.org/clambake to reserve your ticket.

Those who have attended this event in the past, know it to be the unofficial “kick-off” of the South Coast’s summer season – an event not to be missed!

“This year’s event theme is “Sandcastles!” and will feature live music by Lucky 13, a classic menu including whole lobsters, clams, barbeque chicken, and top shelf open bar.” said Nina Weeks, who spoke enthusiastically about the Clambake. “The event will also have an extraordinary silent auction. We’ve already begun collecting lots of new exciting items which are coming in daily!”

Nina, a sales associate at Milbury Real Estate, lives in Padanaram Village with her husband Rob and their four children. Having grown up on the South Coast and attended schools in Fairhaven and Dartmouth, she is intimately familiar with the area. Prior to pursuing her career in real estate on the South Coast, Nina worked in the marketing field with companies including Reebok, Microsoft, and Dockers. She enjoys boating in the summer and is a member of the New Bedford Yacht Club. She is actively involved with the Rotch Jones Duff House, Community Boating Center, and Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust.

For the second year as Clambake Chair, Nina is excited about the opportunity to plan Clambake XXXIV with our dedicated group of experienced volunteers, assisted by members of the Lloyd Center’s staff and Board of Directors.

Members of Clambake XXXIV’s Steering Committee are Nina Weeks, Chair, Kathy Clear, Myrna Hall, Sandra Hall, Winifred Phyfe, Suzanne Prescott, Peter Macdonald, Jane Rheaume, and Daphne Siegal.

A tradition upon which so much depends, the Clambake helps to underwrite the costs of the Lloyd Center’s critically important environmental research and education programs. Today, the Lloyd Center is working hard to protect the nature of our beautiful coast and to bring first-rate environmental science classes to thousands of deserving children in our area’s public schools.
