The collection of decoys donated to the Club from the estate of fellow birder Craig Holderness earned the Club just over $2,000 at a two-day sale and silent auction hosted by the North American Decoy Collectors Show April 29-30, held at The Westin Hotel in Lombard.
Many thanks to Joe Suchecki, who researched decoy pricing and had the collection evaluated, arranged for our exhibit at the decoy event, mustered the supporting team, and hosted our table. Other volunteers included Jane Barnett, Daphne Suchecki, Diann Bilderback, Steve Constantelos, Natalie McFaul, John Hebert, and Denis and Melissa Kania.
Well done, team! All proceeds will fund bird conservation, research, or education. Stay tuned for more details.
