A Mid Summer's Evening at the Opera

On Wednesday August 3^rd Juniper Village at Mount Joy hosted “A Mid Summer’s Evening at the Opera”.  Residents and guests delighted in the vocal talents of mezzo soprano soloist, Ms. Jeanie Kent.  Ms. Kent  earned a BA in music with a focus on vocal performance from Millersville University and then went on to study at the Institute for European Studies in Vienna, Austria where she honed her mezzo soprano skills.  She is an accomplished recording artist, teaches voice lessons and provides music therapy for patients diagnosed with various forms of dementia.  Ms. Kent graced us with dramatic arias and an explanation of each style in a candlelit setting while decadent desserts and refreshments were served.  Opera lovers were amazed and  skeptics transformed by Ms. Kent’s talent.

August 2016 Events in Mount Joy, PA: Breathe in Life

Each August we turn our focus to the environment by offering social events and educational opportunities on living a more environmentally sustainable life. By making caring choices and creating helpful habits we can all make a difference to our planet.

Did you know that an aluminum can may remain in its current condition in a landfill for up to 500 years? That same can, when recycled, can end up back on your grocer’s shelf in as little as two months. Recycling that aluminum can also saves energy. Enough energy, in fact, to power your television for three hours! Aluminum can be recycled over, and over and over again – without limit. Americans will use about 2.5 million plastic bottles every thirty minutes. If that bottle is not recycled it can spend the next 450 years or more in a landfill. A modern glass bottle will take about 4,000 years to biodegrade. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled again, and again and again. So, the next time you are enjoying a delicious beverage, be conscious of the packaging and make the choice to recycle.

Join us this month as we promote the environment with a focus on our recycling programs – from annual rummage sales to shredding and more; our educational offerings will help you to support our environment and Breathe in Life!
