Spring Gala Raises Awareness and Support for Connecticut Audubon’s Fairfield Region

Fairfield Region Director Amy Barnouw addressing the guests.

In its 125 years, Connecticut Audubon has had many achievements and special moments to commemorate, and this year’s Spring Gala was no exception. With more than 170 in attendance, this special anniversary celebration of Connecticut Audubon’s commitment to education, conservation and advocacy in the Fairfield Region was a resounding success.

Highlights of the evening included the premiere of an inspiring new video capturing the history, accomplishments and glimpses of Connecticut Audubon’s Fairfield naturalists, conservationists and educators in action. And in a touching, surprise moment, the Fairfield Region’s Assistant Director Tricia Kevalis was honored for her 20+ years of unequaled dedication and leadership to our award-winning programs that are recognized by area families and schools as among the best.

A warm welcome greeted attendees, guests enjoying the evening’s festivities, Assistant Director Tricia Kevalis was honored for her years of service, perusing an array of auction items.

We are grateful to all who put on their party clothes and dancing shoes to attend and join in the fun of the auction and paddle-raise activities. And we especially thank the many contributors who supported the evening’s fundraising efforts with their gift of time and donations, including our sponsors, local businesses, the event planning committee and many volunteers.

This wonderful community response is making it possible for the important work to continue and benefit the Greater Fairfield community for the next 125 years.
