Newsletter-FALL 2009 FINAL FINAL TO PRINTER - Tinicum ...

2ND ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP CELEBRATION
(cont. from pg. 1) To begin the event, restoration ecologist and former Conservancy Trustee Jeff Keller led visitors on a
walk of the conserved land. The tour ended back at the farmhouse lawn, where other Conservancy members and guests
munched on finger foods and sipped wine. Dianna Sinovic and Kris Becker were given a volunteer recognition award,
which will be presented annually in the future. Several dozen shirts, donated by local businessman R. Dale
Whittenberger, were raffled off.
Conservancy Executive Director Jim Engel reminded members how remarkable this community is when it comes to
protecting land – 33 percent of the area is preserved. “That’s very unusual,” he said. “I doubt many other municipality
in Pennsylvania can say that.” - Article by Dianna Sinovic/Photos by Martie Kyde (2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22,
