Join Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment (ACE) for our annual membership meeting and a celebration of 35 years. ACE promotes stewardship of our natural resources and practical solutions to a sustainable lifestyle in order to protect water, air, and open spaces in the Arlington community. The event will feature Chef Cathal Armstrong as our keynote speaker. Chef Armstrong's work at Restaurant Eve in Alexandria has received numerous awards and accolades. Now with the opening of Eamonn's on Columbia Pike, Chef Armstrong is bringing a taste of his native Dublin to Arlington. Armstrong is a leader in the local food movement and was recently featured in a program on the Kojo Nnamdi show about kids and food with Alice Waters.
