*Members’ Night at the Cape Cod Bird Club. NOT For Members Only!!!*

Join us for a festive evening at 7 PM on Monday, December 14th,at the Cape
cod Museum of Natural History, Rte 6A in Brewster to celebrate the upcoming
holidays.

Member’s Night is our annual fund-raiser.  We hold a silent auction of
bird- and nature-related books and items and a bake sale to benefit our
Young Birder’s Scholarship and the American Birding Association’s Birders’
Exchange project.  There will be door prizes, and discounted festival items.

Our speaker for tonight will be our 2015 Scholarship winner, Corvus Max
Sylvia, who will show photos and talk about his experience at the National
Audubon Society Hog Island Camp last June.

This is our ONLY fundraising activity for the whole year, so please come
and share in the festivities.  And, of course, your tax-deductable
donations to the CCBC are always welcome, in the case that you decide not
to purchase any baked goods or silent auction items.
