'We have quality of life down to a science' DVDs available
| 
In an effort to promote the regional talent and business recruitment efforts in Central Wisconsin, Centergy has released a quality of life DVD that is available at no charge. We wish to thank the Grand Theater for hosting our premiere release, Red Eye Brewing Company for providing refreshments, and Phil Valitchka and Golden Icon for the video production.
Nature and people of region showcased in quality of life video
The quality of life in Central Wisconsin is best described by blending images of the area's natural beauty with those that portray the progressive spirit of its people. Letting these images speak on its behalf, Centergy created the five-minute video to attractively communicate its belief that the communities, culture, natural environment and people make the region special. In addition, to carry its branding message that life and science are connecting the region to tomorrow, the video creatively make the statement, "We have quality of life down to a science."
The viewer is guided by a couple on bicycles through a montage of scenes that communicate more effectively than words the values that make the region special. From sunrise to sunset, the eye is led through the natural environment in which people recreate and find relaxation while showing as backdrop the extensive array of infrastructure that sustains local, national and global business enterprises. Most importantly, the eye is drawn to expressions of people creating community through cooperation and participation. Scenes include school children exploring lessons outside the classroom that teach skills desired by employers, young adults participating in civic planning activities, and the myriad of diverse events that occur within the arts, culture and entertainment realms that bring people of the region together for fun and enjoyment. Centergy is distributing the video through its web site, centergy.net, as a resource of its member organizations and affiliated economic development partners, and various electronic media it employs in its marketing and communications program for their use in promoting our region for business and talent attraction. Please contact the Centergy office for your copy. |
