Did you know that the average American dinner party can generate up to 30 pounds of waste, much of it non-recyclable? The environmental footprint of our social gatherings—often overlooked—can be surprisingly large. Hosting a dinner party doesn’t have to mean excess waste, food miles, or disposable decor. Instead, it can be an opportunity to showcase creativity, mindfulness, and care for the planet, all while delighting your guests. Here’s how to host a sustainable spring dinner party that’s as eco-friendly as it is memorable. Planning with Purpose: Setting Sustainability Goals Before sending out invitations, consider what sustainability means to you in the context of your event.

May 8 is a date that echoes with historical significance across the globe. 1945 – Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) Arguably the most impactful event on May 8, 1945, marks the day when Allied forces formally accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, effectively ending World War II in Europe. After nearly six years of brutal warfare that resulted in tens of millions of deaths, widespread destruction, and profound social upheaval, VE Day brought relief and hope to millions worldwide. On this day, celebrations erupted across Allied nations, from the streets of London to New York City, as people rejoiced at the prospect of peace after years of hardship. The victory was not just a military achievement but symbolized the triumph of democratic ideals over fascism and tyranny. However, it was also the beginning of a complex post-war period marked by reconstruction, the onset of the Cold War, and a re-examination of international relations. 1783 – The First United

WINFIELD, MO – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rivers Project Office, will close the Winfield Recreation Area to allow for contractor equipment and material staging associated with two active construction projects at Lock and Dam 25. The two projects, which are part of the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program, will collectively increase the efficiency of Lock and Dam 25 in Windfield by adding a new 1,200-foot lock chamber. This will make locking time over four times faster by eliminating the need to perform a “double-lockage” which is needed for a 15-barge commercial tow to get through a 600-foot lock chamber, currently standard on the Upper Mississippi River, above St. Louis. This process requires deck hands to disconnect barges from the tow, as the entire shipment will not fit in the chamber at once, conduct two back-to-back lockages, and reconnect the barges before continuing up or down stream. Locking through a 1,200-foot chamber without the
