“Here in the Eastern Sierra, we live up close and personal with wild birds, mammals and reptiles. Hundreds of people each year contact us about wild animals that need our services. People care; they want to help,” said ESWC Director Cindy Kamler. “Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care has been giving that help for close to twenty years and are grateful to our generous and compassionate community for supporting our work. Wild Spirits is our way of saying ‘Thank you.’ ”

Win a door prize, snack on great food, sip your beverage of choice and check out silent auction items:  photographs, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics; gift certificates for restaurants, beauty salons, and more.
