SUMMARY:The Effect of Climate Change in CT
DESCRIPTION:As the world warms\, we will see changes in Connecticut\, some mild\, some more \nsevere. Dr. Mitch Wagener will explain how the addition of heat to the atmosphere and oceans will make our weather more \nchaotic. Sea levels will gradually rise and hurricanes and nor’easters will grow stronger \nquicker. Chances of extreme heat events will grow\, becoming a particular concern for \nseniors. As the planet warms\, disease vectors such as ticks and mosquitoes will \nexpand their ranges bringing new diseases with them. A warming planet will force more \npeople from their homes. We can best deal with these changes with ethics and humanity. \nDr. Mitch Wagener has been teaching ecology and climate change courses\, and related courses at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury since 1996. In 2019\, he received the Aquarion Environmental Champion Award\, Individual Communication category. That same year Dr. Wagener received an official citation from the Connecticut General Assembly for his efforts in climate change education and community service. His research interests include the impact of historical events—such as the Industrial Revolution—on the environment.

SUMMARY:John Denver Tribute Concert
DESCRIPTION:JCC Members | $20\n\nNon-Members | $30\n\n \n\nPlease join us on Saturday November 14th at 7pm for our John Denver Musical Tribute Concert featuring Nancy Walsh\, Al Burgasser\, Rob Brereton\, Suzanna Marker\, Mike Latini\, and Dave Wonsey\n\n \n\nBYOB Venue | Light Snacks Provided\n\n–\n\nNancy Walsh grew up on the east end of Long Island near the water. She began playing guitar and singing in church at the age of 13. It was the music of John Denver that inspired her to branch out from Christian worship songs. Nancy now resides in Sherman\, CT and performs the music of John Denver\, Nanci Griffith\, Kate Wolf\, and other folk singers. She has also written songs about family and the New England coast. Nancy performs frequently at the JCC open mic and is also part of a duo with Caroline Bennett called Girls From Away. They play local venues including the JCC\, Limoncello\, and White Silo Winery. Nancy was also involved in co-hosting the Sherman Song Swap for many years. \n\nAl Burgasser\, a resident of Sherman\, CT has a long history as a respected singer/songwriter as well as performing in a wide variety of venues in the western Connecticut area. Al has also been very active in promoting public events including hosting Open Mic nights at the JCC in Sherman\, co-hosting the Sherman Song Swap (also at the JCC)\, teaching songwriting and music lessons in local adult education venues\, providing performances and lessons to Sherman Seniors (you should hear them play their Boomwackers!)\, and promoting and/or participating in many fundraising benefits and community activities over the years.\n\nRob Brereton is an accomplished musician with a degree in music theory and composition. He is the former director of the Merryall Center for the Arts in New Milford\, CT. Rob is internationally recognized for his skill on the mountain dulcimer and also sings and plays guitar. In addition\, he composes\, arranges and directs several choirs in western CT and is a music teacher in New Haven\, CT.\n\nSusanna Marker is a unique singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her songs run from joy to sorrow\, from love to loss\, and shed light on what it means to be truly human. She has been part of several fine area bands including Red Dirt Girls\, Red Dirt Road and Lumos\, and also performs as a solo artist.\n\nMike Latini developed his musical style in New York City and Boston\, performing in rock bands and singer song-writer venues throughout the Northeast for years. His immediately accessible music\, engaging performance style\, and unique lyrical perspective help him ride the rails from the sublime to the ridiculous\, and make all the stops in between. Mike has recently been playing in clubs and on concert stages in the New York\, New Jersey\, New England area\, with occasional forays into the heartland. His five studio albums are available on most internet platforms\, and a sixth -“In The Aftermath”- is currently in production.\n\nDave Wonsey\, drummer & percussionist\, recently retired Music Educator\, taught adjunct for the past 28 years at Marymount College\, Fordham University\, Norwalk College\, Wooster School\, & Kent School. Again for 28 years\, he also held the positions of Principal timpanist & percussionist with Ridgefield. He is a World Champion Bagpipe band style Snare Drummer\, and accomplished Jazz & Rock drum set player.\n\n \n\nTickets: https://jcc-in-sherman.square.site/product/john-denver-tribute-concert-nancy-walsh-friends/303?cs=true&cst=custom
