SUMMARY:Wings Over Water: Bantam Cinema and Arts Center Sponsored by Gallagher Insurance

Learn how you can make your own property a welcome mat for migrating birds\, bees\, and bats! \nSpeakers: \nKen Elkins\, Director of Coastal Center at Milford Point\, Connecticut Audubon Society\, Milford\, CT \nLisa Turoczi\, Landscape Architect and Co-Owner of Earth Tones Native Plant Nursery & Landscape\, Woodbury\, CT \n$10.00 per ticket.  Seating is limited! \nThe 6:30 showing is SOLD OUT! \nThe 7:30 showing is SOLD OUT! \nPLEASE CALL 860-567-0857  to be placed on a waiting list or email: kelly@whitememorialcc.org \nBantam Cinema and Arts Center is located at 115 Bantam Lake Road in Bantam\, CT. \nThis event is sponsored by Gallagher Insurance. \nWatch the trailer for the film!
