The South Marysburgh Mirror December 2022 /7 Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory’s Fabulous Festive Holiday Auction Returns Online, November 27 - December 11 By JC Sulzenko Member, PEPtBO Board of Directors What better way to ap- proach the season of giving than to support your neigh- bour, the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory (PEPtBO), and its important work in the National Wildlife Area at Point Traverse. This year’s Festive Holiday Auction takes place online over two weeks at http://32auctions.com/ PEPTBO22 with an amazing array of offerings— some- thing for everyone and for a good cause! Miss Emily, aka Emily Fen- nell who grew up in Milford has been nominated as the 2022 Female Vocalist of the Year in the Maple Blues awards. As part of a Wom- en’s Blues Revue, she played Massey Hall in To- ronto last week. Emily is the daughter of Monica Alyea and Lynn Fennell. It’s easy to bid and to pay, too—all online. After the auction, pick-up points will be available not only in Picton, but also in Kingston, Ottawa, and Toronto. Because of the generosity of the businesses and indi- viduals who donated items to the sale, the auction in- cludes gorgeous art and one -of-a-kind crafts, exciting nature expeditions and ex- periences for the whole family, professional services, books and toys, gift baskets, yummy treats, and much more. The Auction represents one of PEPtBO’s most im- portant fundraisers, since the not-for-profit organiza- tion must raise all the funds needed to operate the sta- tion. PEPtBO has extended its migration monitoring and reporting to a year-round activity, making revenue from the auction essential to building capacity to contrib- ute first-class data essential to bird conservation efforts across Canada. As of the end of the au- tumn migration monitoring season, October 31, Bander- in-charge Phil Mercier, Asso- ciate Bander-in-charge Jess Daze with PEPtBO’s dedicat- ed volunteers banded 10,805 birds with 92 species represented. September 8th County, PEPtBO also provides hands-on education to the County’s children through its NatureHood program and plays an important role in attracting nature lovers to the region. Please support PEPtBO’s work in bird conservation by visiting the auction site and placing your bids. That way, you’ll enable PEPtBO’s efforts to save the planet, one bird at atime.
