Our MissionBjörklunden is Essential for Deep Learning Bequest
Cheryl Wilson Kopecky '72 and Rob Kopecky
The thought of creating an estate plan may seem overwhelming until you do
it. Once you start thinking about what is important in your lives and the
influence you would like your gifts to achieve, the planning becomes easier.
Our estate planning includes Björklunden because throughout many years
we have enjoyed the seminars, concerts, receptions, nature walks,
meaningful conversations, and lots of laughter.
We realize that this 440-acre estate on the shore of Lake Michigan is a
unique resource to students, faculty, adult learners attending summer
seminars, and the Door County community. The setting inspires inquiry and
dialogue, learning and fellowship, as well as calm and reflection. The lake
shore's sounds and the forest's fragrance enhance this distinctively
Björklunden experience. Since these factors are essential for students
to learn deeply, we believe it is important for Björklunden to be
stewarded carefully so that generations of learners can experience the
magic that takes place there. We hope many others will want a robust
Björklunden to be part of their legacy, too.
