Volunteer and Make a Difference For over a decade, the Wolf Creek Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency, has been supporting military families through the generosity of this community. Whether being deployed or returning from deployment, separation brings stress and anxiety to a military family which is often difficult to overcome. Through a partnership with Hill Air Force Base and Summit/Powder Mountain, the Wolf Creek Foundation sponsors weekend retreats twice a year, where our military families relax, reconnect, and develop much needed skills that help the entire family cope with deployments. Meals, lodging, and entertainment, along with dedicated programming for adults and children, are offered at no cost to families. This program has held Best Practice status within the Air Force since 2008 and several bases from around the U.S. are working to create something similar for their families. One of the unique qualities of this program is what is does for the children. Several base organizations along with Air Force child development specialists take over Snowcrest Jr. High with a myriad of activities along with focused program- ming to help these children deal with the inherent fear and uneasiness that comes with a parent’s deployment. The parents are offered three training sessions that thoroughly deal with the issues that arise during a spouse’s deployment as well as reintegration when the spouse returns. Several seasoned officers have reported that in their 25- to 30-year careers, they have never been offered anything as beneficial to their families as this program. Your Opportunity to Make a Di昀昀erence - We are looking for volunteers to help serve at some of the meals during the next retreat taking place April 28-30, 2023. Your only commitment will be for one meal during that weekend. All of the meals are buffet style so a volunteer’s main responsibility will be serving occasional beverages, clearing tables and resetting for the next meal. We are looking for 6-8 volunteers per meal. The real benefit of volunteering at this event will be interacting with the retreat participants. When you talk to these families you truly become aware of the sacrifice that the whole family makes for the freedom that we take for granted. We invite you to thank these airmen and their families. To volunteer, please call Sue Munson at 801-388-7596. On Pitch Performing Arts Presents “PeterHowand the Star Catcher” did a miserable Theatre Doors open at 7:00 orphan boy become the Legendary Peter Pan? Based on the 2004 novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, “Peter and the Star Catcher” provides a backstory for the characters of Peter Pan, Mrs. Darling, Tinker Bell, and Hook. The story comes to life on OPPA!’s main stage now through April 8 and is suitable for younger audiences. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, this production playfully explores the depths of greed and despair…and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. “Peter and the Starcatcher is not a retelling of Peter Pan, but rather a story about a Boy made to grow up far too soon by adults who lie and adults who leave him behind,” says Tiffani Allan, Director. “I hope that as you watch this show you feel the magic of childhood imagination, and walk away feeling hope to be who you want to be by the support of your community and the people around you.” Peter and the Star Catcher - March 17 thru April 8 with all evening performances. Located at On Pitch Performing Arts: 587 N Main Street in Layton. Reserved Seating Tickets: Adults-$17.50, Student/Child-$15.50, Senior /Military-$14.50 p.m. with performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets available through our website or by calling the box office at 385.209.1557. For more information and ticketing, please visit onpitchperformingarts.com/tickets2.html. The Story - A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own, the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. Don’t miss OPPA!’s next community theater production. A special thank you to First Community Bank, and Utah Division of Arts and Museums for their sponsorships and continued support.
