To the Editor:
The Merrymeeting Conservation and Education Alliance would like to sincerely thank the community for the fantastic success of the first annual online auction.
We auctioned off 164 items and raised more than $24,000 for the three partnering conservation organizations — the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust, the Cathance River Education Alliance and the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust — to conserve land and to conduct nature based education programs in the Merrymeeting Bay region.
We greatly appreciate the resounding support from the businesses and individuals who donated and solicited items to this year’s auction, and we are already looking forward to next year’s auction.
The auction is generously sponsored by The Merrymeeting Bay Trust, F.L. Putnam and Highland Green.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
