Friends and supporters of open space will celebrate the retirement of Craig Britton, general manager of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, who is retiring after 30 years with the district, at a dinner Friday, March 28, at the University Club, 3277 Miranda Ave. in Palo Alto. The reception will start at 6:30 p.m., with dinner at 7:30 p.m.

Mr. Britton came to the district in 1977 as land acquisition manager, and became general manager in 1994.

The event also celebrates the district’s 35 years of acquiring open space land in the hills and coasts between San Carlos and Los Gatos. The total is expected to reach 60,000 acres in 2008.

Information on tickets at $25 each may be obtained at 691-1200 or go to openspace.org.
