The International WeLoveU Foundation will be holding an environmental cleanup event in Santee on Sunday, June 26, 2022. Members of the community are encouraged to come volunteer their time picking up trash from the riverbed of the Forester Creek. This event is part of the organization’s "Clean WORLD Movement" to restore ecosystems that have been neglected by picking up waste accumulated during the pandemic. Since the onset of COVID-19, there has been an increase in single-use materials, recycling centers were closed or accepted fewer materials, and cleanups were canceled or postponed because of social distancing restrictions. As a result, now our ecosystems are riddled with waste and pollution. For a happier and healthier society, the International WeLoveU Foundation promotes unity and friendship among all people of the global village – beyond nationality, race, religion and socioeconomic status – through impactful environmental and social welfare initiatives carried out with the heart of a mother. For tending to the needs of the global village, WeLoveU has received more than 100 honorary and presidential awards from various countries. Some of these include the U.S. President’s Call to Service Award for volunteerism and the Green Apple Award for best environmental practice. By coming together, we can achieve a brighter and cleaner world! Follow them on Social Media! Facebook + Instagram

From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out (GTLO) have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin live, like you’ve never heard before. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal, GTLO re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album…GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage. No wigs or fake English accents, GTLO brings what the audience wants…a high energy Zeppelin concert with an honest, heart-thumping intensity. Dubbed by the media as “The American Led Zeppelin,” Get The Led Out offers a strong focus on the early years. They also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever heard in concert. GTLO also include a special “acoustic set” with Zep favorites such as “Tangerine” and the “Battle of Evermore” being performed in its’ original instrumentation with guest singer Diana DeSantis joining the band. GTLO has amassed a strong national touring history, having performed at major club and PAC venues across the country. GTLO’s approach to their performance of this hallowed catalog is not unlike a classical performance. “Led Zeppelin are sort of the classical composers of the rock era,” says lead vocalist Paul Sinclair. “I believe 100 years from now they will be looked at as the Bach or Beethoven of our time. As cliché as it sounds, their music is timeless.” A GTLO concert mimics the “light and shade” that are the embodiment of “The Mighty Zep.” Whether it’s the passion and fury with which they deliver the blues-soaked, groove-driven rock anthems, it’s their attention to detail and nuance that makes a Get The Led Out performance a truly awe-inspiring event!
