im COMMUNITY The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, July 18, 1990 11 The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic has made several changes in both programming and customer service for the upcoming 1990-91 season. A 1989 survey revealed that most subscribers, though generally satisfied with the - orchestra, were in favor of a num- ber of improvements. Those surveyed indicated a preference towards the more popu- lar classical pieces. Accordingly, ~ Music Director Hugh Keelan has chosen a thematic approach to the 1990-91 Classics Series. Each concert will feature the best-loved works of a specific country or group of countries including the Soviet Union, the United States, Ger- many, France and Eastern Eu- rope. “1 Subscribers also expressed a desire for an additional concert in the Pops series, therefore a Pops concert has been added. The Christmas concert, previously a part of the Pops series, will now be scheduled as a separate event. Changes in the Philharmonic’s ticket exchange policy have also been made in order to improve customer service to subscribers. Tickets can not only be exchanged between both cities (Wilkes-Barre and Scranton) but also between . both the Classics and Pops series. P&G Volunteers receive citation Volunteers at the Proctor & Gamble Paper Products Plant in Mehoopany recently received a citation from the State Senate in recognition of their assistance at this year's Environmental Day program for Tunkhannock Area Middle School students. On hand for the presentation were, left to right: Bob Hay, P&G Environmental Group; Kent Kresge, Superintendent, Tunkhannock Area School District; Jim Ely and Mark Gregory, P&G volunteers; State Sen. Charles D. Lemmond, Jr.; State Rep. Ken Lee; and Russell O. Hons, Middle School Principal. The camp was conducted for sixth grade students at Camp Lackawanna, in Vosburg. Volunteers from throughout the community, as well as those from P&G, spent two days teaching the students about the environment. Among the subjects covered were: flora and fauna found in the outdoors, air and water quality, trees and their place in the eco-structure, and how the weather affects the balance of nature. : : The subscriber therefore has greater access to any of the Phil- ~ harmonic’s regular season con- certs. ~- Other benefits include a news- letter, priority seating, no waiting in lines and discounts off the price of additional single tickets. These Philharmonic lists new season benefits represent the Northeast- ern Philharmonic’s commitment to improving service to its audiences. Subscriptions for the 1990-91 season are now available. for infor- mation call the Philharmonic’s Customer Service Representative at 342-0920 or 287-1916. Girl scouts enjoy day camps Girl Scouts in the Back Moun- tain have had a busy week last week. Neighborhood 24 which covers Dallas, Lehman, Harveys Lake and surrounding communi- ties, had a Day Camp on the grounds of the Irem Temple Coun- try Club. Neighborhood 25, which includes Trucksville and Shaver- town, held their Day Camp at Frances Slocum State Park. Camp Hemlock at Irem had as their theme, “It's A Small World". One hundred fifty eight girls par- ticipated, divided into 14 units which each represented a different country. Eighteen adult volunteers and Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts serving as Program Aides, helped the girls to learn more about fire building, cooking, knot tying, and other camp, skills. They also en- joyed crafts like tie-dying, and had fun with international songs and games. They had two overnights, one for Brownies and one for Jun- iors. On Friday evening, they closed their busy week with a final camp show for girls and parents. Debbie Dinger was the Camp Director and Debbie Marcy was the Business Manager. The closing activities included an old-fashioned picnic with girls competing in sack and three-legged races, greased ball game and tug- of-war. There was also a magic show and ice cream treat, followed by a program of skits and songs for the parents. Some 80 girls were registered and 20 Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts served as Program Aides.

As a phone company, Common- wealth has accumulated a num- ber of telephones that are no longer needed, a large percentage of them for cosmetic reasons. To help those less fortunate, the Company con- tracted with United Rehabilitation Services, Wilkes-Barre, to refur- bish these phones. The phones are then sent to the Commission on Economic Opportunity of Luzerne County for distribution to eligible customers in Luzerne and Wyo- ming counties. Commonwealth has already contributed phones, known as Friendship Phones, to a similar successful program in York, Penn- sylvania and will continue provid- ing phones to other areas in Penn- sylvania. Commonwealth currently par- ticipates in Link-Up America, a federal program designed to assist low-income families and individu- als in obtaining telephone service. However, Link-Up America does not furnish telephone sets. Recog- nizing this obvious need, the Company agreed to not only pro- vide the connection service but also the telephone equipment. “We wanted to do something to help the community and, since our business is telephones, we thought the best way to help would be to provide phones to those who can’t afford to buy or lease their own,” Mark Santayana, Common- wealth’'s Regulatory Relations supervisor. “Most of us take tele- phone service for granted. It's | always there when we need orwant | it. But there are many people who | don't have telephones and wewant to do what we can to help them.” To qualify for a phone, custom- | ers must have income at, or below, 150% of federal poverty guidelines and will be responsible for paying | their own phone bills. The eligibil- ity requirements and distribution | of the phones is determined by the | local Commission on Economic | Opportunity. For further information on eligi- | bility requirements and phone | distribution in Luzerne County, please call Dave Ritter,-CEO staff, | 1-800-822-0359 from 8:30t0 5:00, Monday through Friday. In Wyo- ming County, call Kevin Holehan, | CEO Wyoming County Coordina- | tor at 836-4090 from 8:30 to 5:00, | Monday through Friday.
