For the Birdhouses

Hundreds of guests attended this year’s Birdhouse Auction, held at the Rolling Ridge Country Club in Wilton. Attendees bid on birdhouses created by artists. The pieces came in all different shapes, sizes and styles, from New England traditional to whimsical and modern. The event was held to support Project Return, a safe, nurturing home in Westport for teenage girls in crisis. Here the girls work on self-esteem, resiliency, respect and responsibility.
