Thank you to all of those who supported the Friends of Briar Bush with the 19th annual Feather Our Nest silent auction and gala. The event was successful in raising funds to support the programs and projects at Briar Bush and in the community.
A new feature during this year’s auction was “Fund the Need.” Guests were asked to make pledges toward specific projects: the butterfly house and the nature playscape. There will be continual costs of plants and butterflies for the house, and a few large items remaining to complete the playscape.
Despite questions regarding the state of the economy, many donations were received for the auction, ranging from small price items to beautiful jewelry and even an entire Thanksgiving dinner from Whole Foods for the live auction.
The staff and board members are incredibly thankful to all those who donated, supported or were involved in the success of the auction in any way. Without members, volunteers and supporters, we could not accomplish all that we do!
