Bank Again Sponsors Taste of the Islands

The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) announced that Bank of the Islands/Edison National Bank will again be the presenting sponsor for the Taste of the Island on Nov 11.

This is the third year in a row that the bank has led the sponsorship of the major fund-raising event for CROW.

Rob Lisenbee, vice president and office manager of the Bank of the Island on Sanibel said, “The Officers and Staff of bank of the Islands/Edison National Bank are pleased and excited to be the presenting sponsor again this year of CROWs Taste of the Islands. We have enjoyed partnering and participating in the Taste of the Island for the past 13 years. We encourage everyone to be involved with this worthwhile event.

Over the years, the bank’s support has been both important and creative for the Taste. Among the man helpful elements was providing RV trailers to secure and count the money for the event when it was held at Algiers Park. Since that time, the bank developed the idea of “CROW bucks,” the currency now used at the Taste. Additionally, the bank arranges for the printing and accounting of that currency.

Taste of the Islands is a critical part of the CROW’s fund-raising each year to pursue its mission of saving wildlife through compassion, care and education. It also is a much anticipated event of great food, wonderful music and good fun running from noon to 5 p.m. at the Sanibel Community Park.
