America Recycles Day

November 15, 2008

America Recycles Day (ARD), November 15, is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products. Celebrating its 11th year, it has grown to include millions of Americans pledging to increase their recycling habits at home and work and to buy products made with recycled materials. Through America Recycles Day, the National Recycling Coalition supports local communities and raises awareness by educating citizens about the benefits of recycling. Volunteer America Recycles Day coordinators are positioned throughout the country and work to organize recycling awareness events in their schools and communities, and in conjunction with their local municipalities.

On November 15 each year, millions of people become better informed about the importance of daily recycling and buying recycled products. The purpose of America Recycles Day is to continue to promote the social, environmental and economic benefits of recycling and encourage more people to join the movement toward creating a better natural environment.

To get involved or for more information about National Recycle Day visit the Michigan Recycle Coaliton at http://www.michiganrecycles.org/index.shtml or the National Recycing Coalition at http://www.nrc-recycle.org/aboutard.aspx

Radio City Christmas Spectacular

November 21-23 Fox Theatre

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular will be returning to Detroit this holiday season after nine successful years at the Fox Theatre, but this time in a brand new arena show. This multi-faceted theatrical touring production will be completely constructed for an arena space, allowing the audience to experience the magic of The Christmas Spectacular at the grandest scale ever imagined by the Radio City creative team.

The show will be enhanced by an immense LED screen that will transport the audience from a wintry landscape to Times Square to Santa's Workshop right before their very eyes. The larger than life sets and awe-inspiring special effects, such as Santa flying out into the audience as snow falls upon the crowd, will allow families to connect with both the intimacy and grandness of The Christmas Spectacular as they are immersed in the warmth and grandeur of the holiday spirit. Traditional fan-favorites like "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," which continue to set the standard as the signature Rockette number for precision performance, and "the Living Nativity" will remain a vital part of the show's core. And this year, the Rockettes will undoubtedly bring the audience to their feet with a Rockette finale "Let Christmas Shine," which honors and celebrates the Rockettes as the stars of the show.
