BORN TO BE WILD: Second Annual MAARS Benefit Silent Auction and Buffet

You are invited to join MAARS as we venture into our Wild Expedition! Mark your calendars for the Second Annual MAARS Benefit Silent Auction and Buffet on Friday, November 1, 2002, at the Doubletree Hotel Minneapolis-Park Place in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Please join us for a silent auction, raffle, buffet dinner, cash bar, a short presentation by MAARS, and a special presentation by our featured guest speaker, Dr. Stewart Metz, from The Indonesian Parrot Project.

With our Volunteers' energy, effort, and enthusiasm, MAARS looks forward to this once again being a hugely successful event—not only for raising much-needed funds for MAARS programs, but just as importantly, for increasing public awareness of the problem of abused, neglected, and misunderstood captive birds and their welfare.
