Reston, VA – Reston Town Center announces the seventh R⁴ Collection Day: Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. Reston, and another green initiative, Solar Belly recycling and trash receptacles.

R⁴ Collection Day: Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. Reston is on Wednesday, September 14 from 1 pm until 4 pm in front of the Reston Town Center Pavilion,11900 Market Street,Reston,VA20190. To access the unloading area, vehicles can enter Market Street off Presidents Street at the east end of Reston Town Center (near Ann Taylor). No fees are charged for this collection service. (More details and collection list are below.)

Two Solar Belly receptacles are now in use near the Pavilion onMarket Street, the hub and main community gathering area ofRestonTownCenter. Using the power of the sun, the new Solar Belly units are independently compacting recyclables and trash on site. The units also have sign panels that help explain the workings of Solar Belly, and retailers are able to utilize the space to promote their businesses.

In an ongoing effort to provide awareness and options for disposal of items that can be diverted from landfill, RestonTownCenterwill accept specific items listed below at R⁴ Collection Day: Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. Reston. Information is also available at www.restontowncenter.com.

Reston Town Center is partnering with a number of groups that will be on site to collect used items for recycling and re-use, including: Bikes for the World (bicycle, sewing machine and hand tool collection); Reston Interfaith (winter coats); Reston Lions Club (eyeglasses, hearing aids); Secured Shred (document disposal on site); and Turtle Wings (computers and other electronics collection – removal and destruction of computer hard drives provided on site).

In the previous six R⁴ Collection Days, held twice a year since 2008, more than 65 tons of electronics and paper have been collected for recycling, and hundreds of items have been gathered for shipment to underprivileged areas nearby and around the world, including eyeglasses, winter coats, bicycles and portable sewing machines for repair and re-use. Tenants, local businesses, and residents have been very appreciative of this ‘green’ opportunity to safely dispose of items that can be recycled, and potentially put to good use, rather than put into the trash. Reston Town Center plans to continue holding this event as demand requires.

Reston Town Center ~
Mercury Fountain Coins Benefit Character Counts! Coalition
Wishes = Buckets of Cash Donated to a Good Cause

Reston, VA – Mercury Fountain atRestonTownCenter is the venue’s major icon, meeting place, and cooling respite on a hot day, but over the years, it has also contributed thousands of dollars in donations to a community foundation, Character Counts! Coalition.

During the months of fountain operation, the many coins that have been deposited as wishes are retrieved by the maintenance crew. They deliver the heavy load – about 7 buckets of coins each year – to Character Counts! Coalition. The organization then undertakes a lengthy process before they can benefit from the windfall. The coins arrive wet, so must be spread out to dry, then sorted to remove buttons, gum, foreign coins and other debris. Each time, the result is about 4 quart-size zip lock bags of cold cash, which are taken to their bank’s coin machine for a tally of the deposit. All those fountain pennies and silver add up to about $1,500 in donations every year.

“We are very grateful for the donations,” says Cate Fulkerson, president of theRestonchapter of Character Counts! Coalition, explaining that the funds are a major support for the organization’s efforts, including Ethics Day withSouthLakesHigh Schooland the Annual Essay & Poster Contest.

Mercury Fountain, designed by Saint Clair Cemin of Brazil, has been in operation since 1990 and is maintained by Reston Town Center Association (RTCA). Topped by the Greek god of commerce and communications, Mercury, the Carrara marble fountain flows from early spring through late fall.

CHARACTER COUNTS! is a national, nonprofit, nonpartisan, character education initiative designed to help youngsters and adults develop and practice the basics of good character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. TheReston CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition assists this effort by providing leadership, coordination, and resources to promote character development throughout the community. Coalition Members include Reston Association,RestonCommunity Center, Reston Interfaith, Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce, Reston Citizens Association, YMCA of Reston, and the office Fairfax County Hunter Mill District Supervisor, Cathy Hudgins.

Established in 1990, beautiful Reston Town Center is an acclaimed outdoor venue offering more than 50 retailers, more than 30 restaurants, and a multi-screen cinema.

Scythian to Play Reston Concerts on the Town Finale

Reston, VA—On August 27, local favorite SCYTHIAN will close out the 2011 season of Reston Concerts on the Town. Since going national in recent years, Scythian plays relatively few shows in the DC area, their hometown, so we are thrilled to welcome them to Reston.

Rousing and raucous, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays kicked-up Celtic and world music with hints of Gypsy and Klezmer, all infused with a touch of punk-rock sensibility. Take a pair of classically trained dueling fiddlers, toss in a rhythm guitar and the occasional funky accordion, then power it with the driving rhythm of a jazz percussionist, and you’ve got the ingredients for a show you won’t soon forget. Their high-energy, adrenaline-peddling, interactive brand of music has one goal in mind: to get people on their feet and dancing. Their repertoire ranges from traditional and contemporary Celtic and folk music to the alluring and dramatic strains of Gypsy and Eastern European tunes, and then crosses back over the border to pick up some good old-fashioned bluegrass licks.

Reston Concerts on the Town takes place at Reston Town Center’s Pavilion every Saturday night, June 4^th thru August 27^th, from 7:30 p.m. – 10 p.m., rain or shine. Thanks to a generous grant from the Reston Town Center Association, these concerts are free to the public. Music lovers of all ages are invited to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and picnics to the concerts each week and come ready to have a swingin’ good time.

Established in 1990, beautiful Reston Town Center is an acclaimed outdoor venue offering more than 50 retail shops, 30 restaurants and a 13-screen cinema, plus more to come. At the center’s hub, the Pavilion hosts special events, concerts, festivals throughout the year and ice-skating in winter.

New Orleans Piano Legend Henry Butler
to Play Reston Town Center

Reston, VA—New Orleans piano legend Henry Butler and his band NONYF will play Reston Concerts on the Town in Reston, Virginia on Saturday, June 11, from 7:30 p.m. – 10 p.m., rain or shine.

Butler, the man Dr. John calls, “the pride of New Orleans,” is considered by many to be the premier exponent of the great New Orleans jazz and blues piano tradition. Widely hailed as a pianist and vocalist both as a solo artist and with a variety of groups, Butler is equally respected for his versatile work as a composer and arranger in a broad range of genres.

Butler’s music is as rich and varied as the culture of his hometown of New Orleans. A soulful amalgam of jazz, blues, R&B, Caribbean, and classical influences, Butler’s music combines percussive jazz piano with the playing style of New Orleans’ late great Professor Longhair. An eight-time W.C. Handy “Best Blues Instrumentalist – Piano” award nominee, Butler—who was blinded by glaucoma since birth—is a classically trained musician on piano and vocals.

In the course of his long, illustrious career, he’s done it all: 10 albums under his own name, dozens of collaborations with major musicians ranging from the late Freddie Hubbard to Soul Asylum, and appearances at major festivals and club venues around the globe. Butler also was just featured prominently throughout last Sunday’s episode of the HBO series Treme.

In 2005, Butler’s home in the lower ninth ward of New Orleans, along with his beloved grand piano, was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Although he now lives in Brooklyn, New York, he remains true to his New Orleans roots, playing his soulful and heartfelt music with a rollicking blues and funk band that will make you want to leap from your seats and dance. Don’t miss Henry Butler at Reston Town Center on June 11!
