....Celebration 2004.... Celebration 2004 on November 6 was a terrific success! Guests arrived
for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at the State Botanical
Garden Conservatory to guitar music by Jason Gonzalez. A silent
auction featured books, art prints and posters, ceramics, glass,
jewelry, performance tickets, services and gift items from local
artists, merchants, and friends of the museum. Alex Muraski donated
four original watercolors of Georgia birds to the auction. Special
thanks go to Beverly Morton and Caron Clark for making the auction
sparkle. A buffet dinner by Trumps followed. Museum Director,
Bud Freeman, introduced guest-of-honor Mayor Heidi Davison. Dinner
speaker Giff Beaton, a Georgia ornithologist, gave a very entertaining
talk “A Selected History of Birding in Georgia”. Thank
you to Jeff Lewis and Gisela Gresham for lovely decorations and
to all our guests and sponsors. We raised $12,000 to directly
benefit Museum programs. The bird paintings were reproduced as
note cards and are available from the Friends – 542-0464.
