The Pennsylvania Resources Council – the Commonwealth’s oldest grassroots non-profit environmental organization – is celebrating its 75th anniversary of protecting Pennsylvania’s environment at its annual dinner being held on November 13 at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia. 

“Since 1939, PRC has been at the forefront of grassroots environmental activism, promoting recycling and waste reduction, educating students about our natural environment, and advocating for litter prevention, protection of scenic beauty, and conservation of Pennsylvania’s natural resources,” according to PRC Executive Director Robert Jondreau.  “PRC will mark this incredible milestone with a 75th anniversary celebration on Thursday, November 13, at the world-renowned Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia.”

The celebration will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a reception, silent auction, and museum tours followed by the 7 p.m. dinner program featuring special anniversary remarks by Sen. Edwin B. Erickson (R-Delaware) and the presentation of a special lifetime achievement award to former PRC Executive Director Ruth Becker. 

Several eco-friendly cars will be on display and a limited number of Tesla test drives will be available.
