Come out and see beautiful pictures taken of many great birds and wonderful
places!

Fundraising Auction
|
|

The auction will be held at Cantigny Park, 1S151 Winfield Rd., in Wheaton (less than
one quarter mile south of Roosevelt Rd.).

Support your club and all that we do!
The auction, held every other year, is DBC's only major fundraising activity and your
chance to support the excellent programs you enjoy as a member.
We've kept dues low so that more members can enjoy our speakers, field trips, spring and
winter bird counts, lending library and other benefits.
Auction proceeds enable us to keep it all going and allow us to give something back to
the birds and the organizations that help conserve them.
