2008 Aquatic Center Dedication
On Friday, June 20, 2008, The New England Center for Children (NECC®) formally opened the “Michael S. Dukakis Aquatic Center,” the first building in Massachusetts to be named after the former Governor, with a Dedication Ceremony marking the occasion.
Governor Dukakis and his wife, Kitty, attended with more than 200 friends and supporters, including Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, to mark this milestone occasion for Massachusetts and NECC.
NECC’s Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Vincent Strully, Jr., said, “Governor Dukakis has long believed in the effectiveness of our program and continues to serve as one of NECC’s most loyal ambassadors. We are proud to be able to recognize his support throughout the last 33 years by putting his name on our new building for everyone to see as they drive along Route 9.”
