The Conservancy was founded in 1991 and since then has protected more than 44,000 acres of critical natural, scenic, and farmland and over 140 miles of shoreline throughout their five-county service area. With only 9 months left in their unprecedented $71.4 million Campaign for Generations, Glen will share dramatic images of some recent land protection accomplishments and an update on the campaign. |
Honoring Bill Cole
The Board and members of Old Mission Peninsula Historical Society wish to thank Bill Cole and his wife JoAnne for their many years of tireless efforts. Together, they accomplished a great deal, including leading the charge for the last 15 years to save the Dougherty House. The Coles, plus a strong core of volunteers, have saved and rehabilitated this magnificent piece of history. We are selling these laser cut ornaments for $15 each to raise funds. There is a description of each and packaged in a clear plastic pouch with the description and a ribbon.
