Greetings follow birders and friends of Audubon: We are now 5-days from the deadline for donations and are 20-days from the AUCTION. Now is the time to remind your Audubon buddies, business associates, friends and family members to make their donations now. We will be putting together the Auction Catalog between now and November 9th and if we do not know about your donation we will be unable to recognize you for your support. Last minute items will be accepted but will be grouped with other late items into baskets for the silent auction. So, it is best to let us know in advance what you plan to donate. This is our major fund raising event, We have a new larger facility, are able to serve wine and will even have some cheese and crackers before dinner. For details go to our website http://www.richmondaudubon.org/ Here is a sample of some of the major donations received to date (not in any order): Zeiss Conquest Binoculars Old Town "Otter" kayak Wine Dinner for eight Photo workshop weekend in Highland County, VA Canoe Birding Outing Vintage Wine Birds of Prey Program Original Drawing by Artist Robert Caldwell Autographed Print by Photographer Arthur Morris "Roseate Spoonbill in Flight" Two for the price of one at a Bill & Linda Lane Field Photography Workshop Costen Floors, $500 Gift Certificate Flight to view regional eagle nests for 2 with Captain Fuzzzo Shermer We still need more donations since we have a lot of very important projects that need additional funding.
