SUMMARY:Rimbala Classes for Seniors
DESCRIPTION:Rimbala is an evidence-based falls prevention program that uses music as the principle means of intervention. Based on the work of visionary Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze\, Rimbala enjoys one of the highest falls prevention results in the world\, with a 54% reduction in falls for community-dwelling seniors. \nOlder adults improve their gait (walking style)\, mobility\, cognitive skills and social intelligence in a relaxed but joyous setting. The improvised music brings fresh neuroplastic experiences that improves the connection between the body and brain in ways that conventional exercise cannot. Because music is broadly distributed in the brain\, there is a hypothesis that gentle exercise with cognitive components can prevent participants from the ravages of dementia — including Alzheimer’s. \nFor more information\, please visit: www.rimbala.com \nClasses are held at: \nRosedale United Church 159 Roxborough Dr\, Toronto Wednesdays 11:30 AM-12:30 PM $20.00 per session \nand online at various times throughout the week. \nPlease contact Dr. Daniel Rubinoff: 416.709.8381 doctor.rimbala@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Fundraising Music Concert for Emmanuel College Sang Chul Lee Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:Korean Traditional Songs (pansori\, gayageum)\, Trumpet\, Youth Quartet Chamber\, Jazz and Piano by Emmanuel College professors\, and classic baritone song. \nThis music concert is going to be special because we are celebrating the 100th birth year of the late Very Right Rev. Dr. Sang Cheol Lee. This concert is also part of the United Church’s Centennial year celebration. We have good reasons to gather and mark these anniversaries with the fundraising effort. \nOver the course of almost 100 years\, scholarships have been awarded to Korean students at Emmanuel College with the generous support from the United Church of Canada. The first Korean scholarship recipient was awarded to Rev. Jaerin Moon in 1928\, the same year that Emmanuel College opened its doors for the first time. Since admission of Rev. Moon in 1928\, there have been many Korean graduates who have made admirable contributions to theology\, ministry\, social activism around democratization\, peace\, gender justice\, and unification issues in Korea\, within the United Church of Canada\, and around the world. Since its inception\, Korean descent students continue to be among the biggest ethnic minority group at Emmanuel and Toronto School of Theology. Yet\, there is no assigned scholarship for Korean students as of yet. As a way of remembering our history\, strengthening this long relationship and carrying a beautiful legacy\, we would like to host this fundraising event for establishing Korean scholarship at Emmanuel College. Your support and generosity will be deeply appreciated. \nTime: Saturday\, October 26\, 2024\, 3:30pm – 5 pm\nPlace: Willowdale Emmanuel United Church (349 Kenneth Ave. Toronto\, Ontario\, M2N 4V9)\nTicket: $100 (a tax receipt will be issued after expenses being deducted)\nTo issue a tax receipt\, please send your full name\, mailing address\, email\, phone number).\nInquiry: HyeRan Kim-Cragg ; Hae-Bin Jung \, 905 – 781 -1678
