VOLUNTEER
OPPORTUNITY WITH EMORY MED SCHOOL FACULTY
We need
volunteers to dance with older adults in adapted tango classes at Kingsbridge
Retirement community (3055 Briarcliff Road) from June 11- Aug. 30.Classes meet
Monday through Thursday from 10:15-11:45.We would like volunteers to arrive at
least 20 minutes early to participate in set up of the room, as well as work
with the "students" (the older adults) to remember steps previously
learned. We need as much volunteer help as possible so we are happy to welcome
you to the classes whenever you can make it, any of those four days of classes.
It is best however, to get on a regular schedule. Adapted tango is being
studied as an intervention in an Emory sponsored study
evaluating the
effects of novel exercise for older adults.
Please send out
to anyone you think might have a little bit of interest!
We're also
looking for volunteers starting July 3, for Tuesdays and Thursdays at Clairmont
Place (next to Highland Lake apts), for 1:30-3 pm and 6:30-8pm classes.
