The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Foundation wrapped up its final session as part of the NPCF Speaker Series, a new fundraising initiative to 2021.
The three-part series that included sessions with Mark Zelinski (April), and David Newland (May), was brought to a close June 30 with Yvonne Van Lankveld, raising an impressive $1,431.00 through the generous sponsorship of NPCF Chair, Tom Insinna, NPCF Vice-Chair, D. Gayle Wood, and participating attendees.
“I’m thrilled this new initiative was such a success,” said Andrea Crosby-DiCenso, Executive Coordinator with the NPCF. “All three speakers gave exceptional presentations and we received a lot of positive feedback from attendees.”
Van Lankveld’s recent session featured a presentation and reading of her first novel, The Road to Alright, which attendees were encouraged to enjoy with a signed copy of the book and bottle of Ball’s Falls white wine from Calamus Winery, inclusions in the paid session.
“100% of every book I have written and sold is donated,” said Yvonne, author of A Road to Alright. “I think the NPCF is a really great organization, so, this is part of my journey to support a great cause.”
Proceeds from this initiative will support conservation projects within the Niagara Watershed.
