Wind Across the Everglades

Thursday, May 8

Movie Announcment The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) and Tropical Audubon Society join forces to bring you Wind Across the Everglades. This 1958 classic, never released on DVD or video in the US, start Burl Ives, Chris Plummer and Gypsy Rose Lee. Get a glimpse of Miami in its pioneer days as you're transported to a conservation battlefield where the Audubon Society takes on the Cottonmouth Gang to protect wading birds from plume hunters. The battle gets nasty as elements of the Everglades become weapons...beware death by manchineel!

When: Thursday, May 8. Doors open at 7:00pm.
Where: Doc Thomas House (5530 Sunset Drive)
Tickets: $20 at the door. Proceeds will be split between IRC and TAS to support underfunded conservation projects.

For more information, call (305) 247-6547.

Come out and volunteer!
