Recycle Utah will organize a day party on earth

Recycle Utah sends out the invitations to the earth's day.

The environmental community will take place on Tuesday, April 22, on Tuesday, April 22nd, in Twisted Farn, 1300 Snow Creek Drive, Suite RS and tickets for the event from 21 years from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., said Chelsea Hafer, Recycle Utah Community Outreach Manager.

“This is our annual fundraising campaign for our educational programs,” she said. “We will have a silent auction with dinner and drinks that are delivered by Twisted Farn.”

Hafer is grateful for Utah's partnership with Twisted Fern, which belongs to Adam and Meisha Ross.

“Adam is on our board and Twisted Fern is a member of our Green Business program,” said Heller. “You have been involved with Recycle Utah for many years. We had the party there last year and it is a great location with a nice place. If the weather is nice, we will be on the back terrace. “

Ticket prices include food, two beverage cards and a quiet auction with articles donated by local companies, said Hafer.

“Although we still have auction articles, we have gift cards for Bill White Farms, vouchers for Park City Mountain and Golf's rounds in Park City Mountain,” she said. “We also have memberships in Swaner Preserve & Ecocenter and Red Butte Garden, and we will also auction a chair made of upcycled ski that we have made in Recycle Utah.”

The auction is only available personally, said Heller.

“I think the donations to the auction show how much the Community Recycle Utah supports,” she said. “We have always had great support from our local companies, with which we sometimes work at other events.”

According to Heller, these events include the hundred miles and hazmat days with Park City Mountain.

In addition to the quiet auction, the celebration for the Earth Day includes a winer.

“Board members bring wine bottles with them and we wrap them into the newspaper,” said Hafer. “The participants can buy one or more bottles without knowing what types of wine they will get. Sometimes you get a nice bottle and sometimes you get a cheap bottle. But either way it is wine and it's fun. ”

The money collected by ticket sales, auction and the wine grave will support Recycle's educational programs in Utah.

“There are two of us who work in these programs,” he said. “I was hired a year and a half ago, and Mary Closser … has been our education director for 12 years.”

The main focus of the duo is to inspire the students in kindergarten to ninth place, said Heller.

“We go to classrooms throughout the Summit County and in the four primary schools in the City School District Park,” she said. “We take teaching plans that match the science standard for each class. And we also have some lessons in which we work with guest moderators. “

Other programs in Utah in Utah include summer camps that reach more than 7,000 students in the Summit County, and the Green Drinks program for adults.

“We hold six green drinks a year with various green companies and discuss and discuss various topics regarding sustainability and recycling,” she said.

Recycle Utah also has a Latino Outreach program, said Hafer.

“We received a scholarship from the Park City Community Foundation and have an intern of the Bright Future program of the Park City High School, which helps us create content in Spanish that we can share through various communication platforms,” ​​she said.

Bright Futures is a program that prepares students with low incomes and first generation students, be successful and completed in college.

Recycle Utahs Earth Day celebration begins or does not end with the fundraiser.

“We have many events in the earth month,” she said.

On April 23, the day after the Earth Day Party and the fundraising campaign, Recycle Utah will present a sustainability workshop in the Park City Library, said Hafer.
