Food truck fest will satisfy Warwick students’ hunger for music f course, you’ve got a lot going on. Sure, you’re busy. But clear a space on your calendars and mark it down, because you’re not going to want to miss this. It’s a day of fun and food and music and fellowship. All for one great cause. It’s the third edition of the Warwick Band Food Truck Fest, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 21, at Lititz Springs Park, 18 N. Broad St., Lititz. All proceeds from the event will support the Warwick Middle and High School band programs, which benefit more than 150 local students through the medium of music. “It’s really heart-warming to see all the people come out,” said Matt Tenaglia, who’s been the director of the Warwick High School and Middle School band programs for six years. “You’ve got the smell of the foods in the air. There’s warm temperatures. It’s a great day. I absolutely love this event. It’s a good way to

make money, but it’s almost an afterthought. The goal is to bring people out.” “This also gives kids another outlet to perform,” continued Tenaglia. “I try to think outside the box as much as I can. We looked at the park and said, ‘How can we use that space to bring people together?’ The kids love this event, because after they perform, they can spend time with their friends.”
“Every kid in this program is top-notch. They carry themselves with respect, and they work hard.” Fourteen food trucks offering all sorts of fare will be on hand that day. Their presence will be supported instrumentally by the Warwick High School and Middle School jazz bands and the program’s String Synergy group.

“Gardens of Oz” offers free beauty for the asking BY JEFF FALK
The beauty of mature nature abounds in The Gardens of Oz.
Aesthetically pleasing, beauty takes on a deeper meaning when shared with others. In the natural world, there are few things recognized as more beautiful than plants, including trees and flowers. Manheim Township resident Dennis Denenberg has a deep appreciation for the magnificent and complex 1-acre garden that surrounds his home at 410 Valley Road, Lancaster. But that appreciation blooms into pure enjoyment when

visitors see it, smell it and experience it. In fact, Denenberg has made his garden, affectionately referred to as The Gardens of Oz, available as a nonprofit venue for charitably minded organizations to host fundraisers, meetings and events free of charge. In return for the use of the garden, Denenberg does accept donations to Diana’s Dreamers, a charity he founded at Millerville University to honor his late sister Diana Denenberg-Durand, who succumbed to breast cancer in 2007.

school district has budgeted for the band program - dollars that will ultimately lead to greater opportunities for the seventh- to 12thgrade students involved with the extracurricular activity. “Band is a huge reach from school to community,” said Tenaglia. “We perform at parades, football games and competitions. Music helps teach kids how to count and read at the same time. But we also try to give kids an opportunity to lead. With the music program here, we try to give kids a total, overall education experience. With all the skills they learn, they’re going to be better people.” In addition to the two jazz bands, the Warwick High School and Middle School band programs also support a pair of concert bands and the Warrior Marching Band. “They’re great kids,” said Tenaglia. “They’ve come a long way and grown so much. That’s what makes my job so special. I get to see them when they’re 12, all the way up until they’re 18. Every kid in this program is top-notch. They carry themselves with respect, and they work hard.”
