Encinitas to pack its bags for busy few weeks

  • 2012-11-09
The city of Encinitas’ Youth Commission is seeking donations of Backpacks for their 2012 Teen Backpack Project.

Backpacks will be collected from now until December 7, 2012 at the Cardiff and Encinitas libraries, City Hall, local fire stations, and the Encinitas Community Center. The backpacks will be filled with school supplies, toiletries, gift cards, reusable water bottles and packaged snacks and will be given to homeless, displaced, at risk and transitionally homeless youth.

The youth commission is hoping to provide at least 50 filled backpacks to the Community Resource Center but more would be greatly appreciated. Donors may provide any of the above listed items.

For further information regarding the Teen Backpack Project please contact Vicki Rubenstein, Recreation Supervisor with the City of Encinitas at 760-633-2758.

For the communities listening pleasure, the city of Encinitas will present a series of concerts in November at the Encinitas Library, 540 Cornish Drive. The concerts are presented by the city of Encinitas Arts Division and Commission for the Arts. The concerts will be held at noon on Wednesdays. Listeners may bring their own lunch or purchase items from the coffee cart. For more information call (760) 633-2746.

The concert on November 14, 2012 will feature Claudia See on clarinet and soprano Joyce Yin. These women are winners of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus 2012 Young Artists Competition. They will be accompanied by Ekaterina Petrosyan.

They will perform music by Strauss, Delibes, and Poulenc.

Glen Vanstrum will perform on the piano on November 21, 2012. Vanstrum will perform works from Beethoven and Chopin. Brochure printers can provide pamphlets with complete information about performers and holiday activities for cities.
