ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO
SUPPORT YORK COUNTY AUDUBON

THE FREEPORT WILD BIRD SUPPPLY  (FWBS) at  541 Route One in Freeport (207-865-6000) has chosen YCAS as the non-profit organization to benefit from its sales on OCTOBER 9 & 10, from 10:00am to 6:00pm each day. 

FWBS is excited to introduce a new program to help raise funds for local conservation and environmental organizations.  Since FWBS owners, Derek and Jeannette Lovitch, have always advocated the conservation of birds and their habitats as part of their approach to selling products for the enjoyment of nature, they believe that giving money back to organizations that share their vision is a win-win situation for everyone: their customers, non-profit organizations, the community, and of course, the birds.

Their new “Independence is For the Birds!” program is a year-long celebration of their new store and our community.  On one weekend each month, they will donate 4.5% of revenue generated from sales (excluding optics & gift cards) at their retail store to a selected non-profit organization. York County Audubon will have a display table at the store to disseminate information about our activities and encourage folks to join Maine Audubon and YCAS.  Please drop by over the weekend.
