A Penguin Affair 10th Anniversary Celebration

This annual benefit supports the science-based environmental education, research and advocacy programs of the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center. Enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live & silent auctions.

Roger Tory Peterson, acclaimed conservationist, prolific artist and writer of numerous field guides, lived and worked in Old Lyme. Traveling multiple times to Antarctica, his favorite bird was known to be the Penguin, so much so that he was affectionately called King Penguin. In celebration of his legendary contributions, we reprise this species for our 10th Anniversary.
