It's Members Night at the Cape Cod Bird Club! On Monday, December 12th,from
7PM to 9PM, at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, Rte 6A in Brewster,
come join in the fun of this incredibly popular and dellightful event.  You
don't even need to be a member!

Members’ Night is a combination of FUND-raising and FUN-raising to
celebrate a great year of birding… and to raise monies for two activities
our Club supports: *Student Scholarships to Birding Camp* and *Birder’s
Exchange*, which supports struggling ornithologists in Central and Latin
America.

Throughout the year we have collected books on bird and birding topics as
well as some bird or nature related gift items or artwork to be sold at a
silent auction at incredibly low prices.

Meanwhile, we also have a wonderful BAKE TABLE with sale items for
purchase. Seasonally wrapped cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, fudge, jams,
jellies, etc. are sold to be used during the holidays or tucked into the
freezer for a mid-winter treat! Having a party? Stock up at the BAKE SALE
TABLE!

Throughout the evening, door prizes will be given away. Merchandise from
local bird stores and our club merchandise will also be available. Purchase
Kingfisher note cards, pins, patches, bird lists and more for last minute
gift ideas. All in all, it’s a joyful night of fund-raising and fun! Give,
eat, and be merry with old and new birding friends alike.
