Class Notes
Bill Klossner
Class of 1974, Retired UCC Clergy听
鈥淎fter retiring from 39 years of parish ministry in Wisconsin and Florida, I found my new calling in 2016 when I joined the Board of Directors of the Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens in Punta Gorda, Fla. Two months later, I became Board President. At that time, the Gardens were still under development, and I stepped into the role of de facto Executive Director. We officially opened to the public in October 2017.听
鈥淪ince then, the Gardens have grown into a 27-acre sanctuary featuring world-class sculptures and natural beauty, hosting nearly 50,000 visitors annually for tours, exhibits, classes, and seasonal events. Despite challenges, including three hurricanes, a tropical storm, and a pandemic, we鈥檝e received numerous accolades, including TripAdvisor鈥檚 鈥楤est Hidden Gem in Florida鈥� and recognition as one of the 鈥楾op Six Nonprofit Boards in SW Florida.鈥櫶�
鈥淥ur team continues to expand community and educational programs, such as launching the first phase of our Food Forest for sustainable growing. This 鈥榬etirement鈥� ministry has been deeply rewarding and a perfect next chapter of my life.鈥澨�
