DONATION PROGRAM
Community Auto, part of The
Lighthouse Foundation, is a nonprofit
low income car ownership program.
It accepts donated cars, repairs and
inspects them if necessary, then sells
them to qualified working low-income
people at discounted prices, as compared
to a regular used car dealership.
The organization says it’s the only one of
its kind in western Pennsylvania that puts
cars back into the hands of families in the
Greater Pittsburgh area.
The used car sitting in the garage that
you didn’t sell because it was a hassle, or
the car that didn’t get the trade-in value
you wanted, or the one the kids used for
school and is no longer needed would be
the perfect car to donate. Your generous

Pittsburgh Opera continues its 81st
season with its first-ever Spanish-language
opera, Daniel Catán and Marcela
Fuentes-Berain’s magical “Florencia en el
Amazonas.”
Florencia Grimaldi is a famous
opera singer traveling to perform at the
opera house in Manaus, Brazil, in the
early 1900s. She also hopes to find her
long-lost lover Cristóbal, a butterfly
hunter who has disappeared into the
Amazon jungle.
Florencia journeys down the Amazon
River by steamship with a cast of colorful
characters, including an intrepid female
journalist and a couple looking to
rekindle their love. As they penetrate
deeper and deeper into the heart of the
Amazon, the passengers and crew realize
their voyage is not just a physical journey,
but also a mystical one.
Inspired by the magic realism of
Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gabriel
García Márquez and his novels “Love
in the Time of Cholera” and “One
Hundred Years of Solitude,” “Florencia
en el Amazonas” features lush, melodic
