The Tale of Six Fuzzy Ducklings

June 18, 2020

For ten years Green Chimneys has kicked off the holiday season with the arrival of a large, intricate gingerbread creation made by Stefani Gosselink. Each year Stefani created magnificent gingerbread structures that were auctioned off for charity as part of a holiday luncheon for W. R. Berkley Corp. employees. The company would then match the winning bid, doubling the gift to Green Chimneys. Stefani and Rob’s sweet annual visit was a cherished tradition and their generosity will always be remembered.

At the request of her family, gifts to Green Chimneys in loving memory of Stefani may be made via:

Beetle the Appaloosa

Beetle, an Appaloosa horse, joined the Green Chimneys equine program from a private farm in Connecticut. He has a diverse background in multiple riding disciplines; his previous owner kept him in excellent condition through long-distance trail riding. Beetle also had basic training in the sport of Dressage, as well as jumping and other competitive events. Appaloosas are known for their beautiful spotted coats and typically have a small build.
