Hi MWABA friends,

 

This weekend we will be doubling up on MWABA activities, with goalball practice on Saturday morning from 9 AM-noon and yoga class on Sunday afternoon from 1:30 to 3 PM. Goalball practice, as always, will be at the DC Jewish Community Center at 1529 16th St. NW, on the corner of Q and 16th Streets, in the gym downstairs. Yoga class will be at the MLK Memorial Library at 901 G St. NW, across the street from the Gallery Place metro station. If you plan to attend either event, please RSVP to me at kgilbride22 at hotmail.com.

 

Speaking of goalball, for anyone who didn’t get a chance to follow the live game feeds on Friday, I wanted to report that the US women’s team won their bronze medal game against Brazil, 3-2, and the men’s team took silver after an offensive battle with Team Lithuania that ended in a score of 14-8. Congratulations to our Paralympic silver and bronze medalists!

 

Last but not least, one of our yoga instructors asked me to share the following information about a study she is conducting at Georgetown University regarding how blind people perceive rhythm and music. She is looking for participants over the age of 18 who became blind before age 2. Participants wil listen to various musical rhythms and move along with the beat by bending their knees, and then will spend an hour in a brain scanner while again listening to rhythms and tapping along. The entire study takes about two hours and participants will receive $75 for their time, as well as pictures of their own brains! For more information, please contact head researcher (and MWABA yoga instructor) Jessica Phillips-Silver, whose contact information is below.

Jessic aPhillips-Silver,!Ph.D.!(lead!researcher)!

Telephone: 202>687>8842

That’s all for this edition of the newsletter. Hope to see many of you this weekend, and in the meantime, have fun and stay active!

Karla
