(Niagara At Large at www.niagaraatlarge.com, is posting the following information from Willowbank, a wonderful heritage site in the Niagara-on-the-Lake community of Queenston, Ont., that might have been leveled to the ground a decade ago were it not for the efforts of the late conservationist Laura Dobson and other area citizens to save it, for a fundraiser Willowbank is hosting to support young artists.)
DATE: SATURDAY JUNE 5, 2010
TIME: 6:30PM – 11:00 PM
LOCATION: FORT YORK, Toronto
Come enjoy a fun evening with light finger foods, music, dancing,
and various fund raising activities. A brief presentation will be
made by Julian Smith from Willowbank.
There will be a cash bar.
What is the Per Neumeyer Fund?
The purpose of this evening is to raise enough money to establish
an endowment fund, whereby the annual interest will support a
student at the Willowbank School of Restoration Arts.
The school educates students in the field of restorative arts such as stone
carvers and restorers. Per Neumeyer was a respected and skilled
stone restorer and carver, whose innovative and intuitive way with
stone was admired. Per was generous with his knowledge not just
with the trades but with the entire conservation community.
Each year a student who exemplifies the spirit of Per Neumeyer
will be awarded a bursary. Our goal is to raise $10,000.
Tickets: $25/person
Tickets can be purchased at the door or prior to the event.
