Monday, October 24, 2011 – Special Event!
In lieu of the regular scheduled PIPS General Meeting on this date, we be holding a special fund-raising event for the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. PIPS will host the screening of the documentary “Feather Wars” at the Majestic Theater in Vero Beach.
Feather Wars is a film documentary about the history of Pelican Island and the establishment of the National Wildlife Refuge System in 1903. The 30-minute video was written and directed by Tom Lowe and produced by his Orlando, Florida company, Eagle Productions, for the PBS Channel. Mr. Lowe has also produced other Florida-themed documentaries such as “The Sponge Divers of Tarpon Springs”, “River Into the New World” and “Zora’s Roots – The Zora Neale Hurston Story”. Mr. Lowe also writes mystery/thriller novels that are Florida-based.
We believe this is the first unrestricted public screening of the documentary, which has yet to air on PBS. The event will be held at the Majestic Theater of Vero Beach, 940 14th Lane. PIPS is the Citizen Support Organization for the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge and proceeds from this event will support the refuge.
Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served starting at 7:30 PM, with the screening at 8:15 PM. Advanced reservations are $15/person for PIPS members or $20/person, non-member (to include a membership – individual/family, as appropriate) and can be made with a credit card on our website – see PayPal payment buttons below.
