Each year on Monday, November 11th, our nation joins together in honoring and remembering all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
This year, on Sunday, November 10th, the Matanuska-Susitna Orchestra (MSO) will join forces with Valley Community for Recycling Solutions (VCRS) to produce a memorable concert with a Veterans Day-theme.
This special, heartfelt concert will take place at The Glenn Massay Theater on the University of Alaska’s Mat-Su campus. This beautiful facility is able to host a variety of events such as plays, lectures, conferences, competitions, movie screenings, benefits and concerts.
The event on November 10th will partner the fabulous Mat-Su Orchestra with our Valley Recycling Center for a benefit concert that is free to the public. The theater is a venue for education and entertainment that can help to strengthen, engage and empower the community, and what better way to utilize its unique features than to do that through the power, meaning and importance of music and recycling. The Glenn Massay seats 520 guests, and for the opportunity to hear this talented orchestra while supporting recycling in the Valley, we are hoping to fill every seat in the house!
The concert begins at 3:00pm. Since proceeds from the concert will benefit VCRS, there will be a silent auction and bake sale in the lobby, and donations will be gratefully accepted after the show. Please bring your family and friends with you, and come early to bid on your favorite items. Help sustain YOUR Valley Recycling Center while enjoying an afternoon of inspiring music and honoring our service members.
With its building and new baler, VCRS is ready and able to handle much more cleaned and sorted material than the amount it now collects – so it can meet the demands of the Valley’s rapid growth for years to come, making it a great investment in our community’s economic future as well as its environmental health and beauty! VCRS is grateful for its partnership with the MSO, and proud to be a part of its Veterans Day-themed special presentation!
