The new visitor experience begins with a welcome video that was originally produced and used at the old CROW clinic for many years. In an effort to further CROW’s mis- sion to save wildlife through compassion, care and education, Healing Winds Visitor Education Center CROW is hoping to begin production of a new “documentary” welcome video for the center employing the services of local videographer Rusty Farst. Farst is donating much of his time and ser- vices but final production costs, materials and third-party services bring the final price to $12,000. The new video will give visitors an opportunity to learn about CROW’s history, its current efforts, and its future goals for making a difference in the lives of our wildlife neighbors. Farst’s work is well-known throughout the local community and his works are always educational, experiential and inspirational. CROW is excited to have the chance to benefit from his talent, experience and generosity. An anonymous and long-time “Friend of CROW” has offered to match any indi- vidual donations up to $6,000 to allow video production to begin. CROW is reaching out to its always supportive and giving community to solicit donations in support of that $6,000 goal. Every dollar you give will be matched. Those who are willing to help are asked to make checks payable to CROW (please note “Video” on the memo line) and mail them to PO Box 150, Sanibel, FL 33957.
