WELCOME

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 25th Annual Friends of Acadia Benefit Auction!

From its memorable beginnings as a fine art sale at the Northeast Harbor Neighborhood House, for a quarter-century the Friends of Acadia Benefit Auction has provided essential support for programs that directly benefit Acadia National Park, through a special event that strengthens the personal connection each of us feels for this magnificent place.

Acadia is unique among national parks, having been created entirely by private donations of land by farsighted individuals. The legacy of private support continues, and today the great majority of contributions for our work comes from people like you who treasure Acadia. For 28 years, preserving this jewel of a park has been the sole focus of Friends of Acadia, and we are grateful to each person whose stewardship makes it possible.

The Benefit Auction Committee Co-Chairs—the remarkable team of Noelle Wolf, Nonie Sullivan, and Julia Utsch— and committee volunteers have pulled out all the stops for this anniversary event, with exciting auction items and surprises throughout the evening. We appreciate the volunteers, Benefit Patrons, and Business Sponsors who make the Benefit Auction possible. A special “thank you” goes to the many artists, individuals, and businesses who contributed the fantastic auction items in this preview catalog.

By participating in the Benefit Auction—by bidding on live or silent auction items at the event, bidding online until August 19, sending in an absentee bid, or by simply attending the event or making a donation in support of it—you will make a real and lasting difference in the protection of Acadia. We will use proceeds from the Benefit Auction to support new and ongoing programs in Acadia that protect natural and cultural resources, engage youth, and contribute to a quality visitor experience in the park.

Let’s all celebrate Acadia this evening! Through your purchases and your presence, you are continuing the legacy of preservation for our beloved park.

With appreciation,

Edward L. SamekChairman of the Board
