In Memory of Stefani Gosselink

Students Use Their SMARTs for Bluebirds’ Safety

September 18, 2024

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:

Gyrfalcon

Crowned the best for falconry in medieval times, gyrfalcons were once reserved for kings. As the largest falcon in the world, with exquisite plumage ranging from bright white to deep charcoal, gyrs are revered for their powerful skill of flight. Their long wings make hunting waterfowl from 3,000-feet-high a feasible and fantastical feat. This falcon was flown in the sport of falconry for several years.
