Community Calendar

11-week in-person or virtual program provides information while addressing the needs of grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.

Pinebrook Family Answers (PbFA) popular Grandparents Group psychoeducational support program begins on Wednesday, February 19th and runs through April 30th. The one-hour classes begin at 11 am, open to the community, virtual or in person. The 11-week program provides support and resources for grandparents, non-custodial caregivers and guardians who are raising children. Topics include understanding legal terms and processes; refining parenting skills, understanding child-developmental stages and positive discipline; building relationships through effective communication skills, intrapersonal connections, and conflict resolution; helping kids process trauma; and much more.

In addition to the educational information provided, the goal of the group is to provide opportunities for members to connect with each other, lessen feelings of isolation and create community that can extend beyond our group setting. The meetings are run in English with one facilitator who is Spanish speaking. To register or learn more, please call 484-387-1623 or email grandparents@pbfalv.org.

Experience the magic of Styx like never before with Return to Paradise, a tribute show that flawlessly recreates the band's greatest hits spanning four decades.

Frontman Anthony Paul delivers powerhouse vocals reminiscent of both Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw, while keyboardist Robert Epstein dazzles with stacks of synthesizers that bring DeYoung’s signature sound to life. With guitarists Ron Torina and James Erickson delivering electrifying riffs, and a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Joe Mendozza and drummer Sean Minardi, Return to Paradise captures every iconic element—from soaring harmonies to flashy keyboards—bringing classics like “Come Sail Away,” “Lady,” “Renegade,” “Babe,” “Mr. Roboto” and “Rockin’ The Paradise” roaring back to the stage!

Pinky's Brains consists of Justin Scalia, ,Nick McGrew, and Allison Saunders
In 2016 after a few disbanded projects Justin was on the search for like minded musicians. He met Rt at work, after talking one day Rt invited Justin over for a jam session.
