"Celebrating and Preserving the Gift"
Come dine and celebrate Shirley Heinze Land Trust’s 30th anniversary. On Saturday,
June 25, 2011, Harry Porterfield, CBS Channel 2’s news anchor and commentator, will
be Master of Ceremonies for the 8th Annual Shirley Heinze Land Trust Summer Benefit
to be held at Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Indiana.
THE GIFT~ The passionate efforts of one woman, Shirley Heinze, began with her
dedication and personal commitment to the preservation of the Dunes in Northwest Indiana.
These efforts were recognized after her death through a major gift by friends of Dr.
Heinze to endow what has become Shirley Heinze Land Trust. Since then, over 1,200 acres
of natural land have been acquired and preserved in her name. We gather this year to
celebrate and preserve this gift.
WINE & DINE~ The evening will begin with a champagne reception, featuring a variety
of hors d’oeuvres, followed by an elegant sit-down dinner, prepared by Chef Nathan Wronko.
The meal will start with a cold spiced mango soup with mint yogurt. Then, guests will
choose from three tempting entrées–Atlantic salmon with a lemon-herb aioli, boneless pork
loin chop with herbed pork jus and pineapple relish, or polenta cake with portabella mushroom,
zucchini, yellow squash, and spinach. A decadent pink champagne cake with a fresh berry
filling will conclude this delightful dinner.
ANNIVERSARY & ATTRACTIONS~ The evening will feature both silent and live auctions,
offering exciting getaway packages, such as a memorable trip to Paris, the New Orleans Wine
& Food Festival in the French Quarter, Mystery Dinner prepared by Scartozzi’s Trattoria of
Michigan City, and a guided tour of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan.
Of course, the evening would not be complete without a special anniversary program to
commemorate Shirley Heinze Land Trust’s 30th year.
We are excited to observe this important milestone with our friends and supporters. We
invite you to join us as we celebrate and preserve this precious gift in Northwest Indiana:
Shirley Heinze Land Trust.
