[CT Birds] COA annual meeting raffle

[Tom Sayers]

CHEEP CHEEP may herald in the start of spring that we have all been so
eagerly waiting for, but CHEAP CHEAP is hardly fitting when talking about
the offerings at this year's COA annual meeting raffle! Still saving up for
that spotting scope you have always wanted- or ready to deep six the
military issue scope your grandad left you?  How about taking your chances
on a brand new  Pentax spotting scope donated by Jerry Connolly at the
Audubon Shop? Always wanted an original Mark Szantyr painting? This year's
is really special. How about matted and framed stunning photos by Jim Zipp,
Paul Fusco, and Towni Dickinson?  Beautiful Carriergraphics prints, bird
houses, feeders, the full line of Sibley's books, Dr. Askin's book and more.
The price of seed killing you this year? Lots of opportunities to take a bag
home for a buck. Can you beat that? Maybe the winter finch irruption this
year means it's YOUR turn to win some great stuff. Come on down Saturday,
have  a good time, and help support your COA.  Thanks. Tom Sayers    Raffle
