Aspen Meadows Pet Services Hosting Grand Opening Ceremony Aspen Meadows Pet Aquamation & Memorial Services is pleased to announce that they will hold a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for their newly constructed pet aquamation facility, onsite beginning at 3:00pm on January 30th, 2026. “Pets are paramount members of our families and our community. At Aspen Meadows, it is our honor to provide dignified aftercare services to support families and individuals as they say goodbye to their beloved companions,” said Lauren Calvey, CEO of Aspen Meadows. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for Aspen Meadows Pet Aquamation & Memorial Services marks the beginning of a new era in death care for the Clarks Summit community members. In partnership with their sister companies, Jennings-Calvey Funeral and Cremation Services, and Scranton Area Cremation care, they now offer comprehensive aftercare options not only for people, but also for the animals who are deeply cherished members of families. Aspen Meadows was established as a complementary expansion of the long-standing Jennings-Calvey Funeral and Cremation Services in Clarks Summit. With more than 125 years of dedicated service to the community, Jennings-Calvey has continually evolved to meet the needs of families, including the addition of an onsite crematory in 2020. Aspen Meadows builds upon this legacy by expanding dignified aftercare options and services to include animals. Aspen Meadows offers onsite aquamation, a gentle and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional cremation that uses water instead of flame. Aspen Meadows provides a variety of memorialization options, including goodbye sessions, memorial and viewing services, burial and interment assistance, postmortem refrigeration, transportation options, and more. Event Details Their family-friendly community event will take place during Clarks Summit’s 22nd annual Festival of Ice, celebrating this year’s theme, “The American Dream.” Guests can enjoy a live ice carving in front of their business, live music by Tony Vergnetti, and light refreshments throughout the event. Date: Friday, January 30th, 2026 Location: 111 Colburn Avenue, Clarks Summit PA 18411 Time: 3pm-6pm Live Ice Carving: 3-5pm Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: 5:15 pm Contact Lauren Calvey, CEO of Aspen Meadows, at Lauren@jenningscalvey.com with any questions.

Keystone Mission Hosts Grand Opening for Seeds of Hope Community Garden The Scranton Chamber of Commerce spread the ribbon on Keystone Mission’s opening ceremony for the Seeds of Hope Community Garden behind their Scranton Innovation Center. The idea of a community garden sprung to life in April 2023 and is designed to facilitate the development of life and vocational skills for guests at the Mission. The initiative engages Center guests, staff, and the local community to actively participate in planning, growing, and harvesting of fresh produce. After a successful summer of harvesting a variety of vegetables and spices, the garden received a handcrafted sign to commemorate the many hands that played a vital role in planning and upkeeping the garden. “This coming-together of staff, guests of our Pathfinder’s Program, many community organizations, and local residents is a true testament to what can be accomplished when we come together,” says Danielle O. Keith-Alexandre, CEO & Executive Director. “This project is now a reality, and it is wonderful to experience the foliage and fresh produce from the garden. We hope that community members will stop by and enjoy the scenery that exudes from the ambience of our Seeds of Hope Community Garden!” Keystone Mission recognizes the many hands that made this possible such as the Pathfinder’s Program, The Scranton Area Community Foundation, Michael McAllister, Scranton Counseling Center, Mr. Mulch, The Hughes Family, and the Klee Family. Keystone Mission gives special recognition to Mitchell Hreha and his company, 3VKG, for donating time and material to build a handcrafted Seeds of Hope Sign.
