  • Miakonda Guitar Book 4.Pdf
    By Liz Wanless and the Grundys 4th Edition, 2008 Name: _ _ th Preface to the 4 Edition Welcome to the most intense Guitar Book yet! The book has come a long way since its 35-page first edition, and could not have been made possible without the support and enthusiasm of guitar jammers everywhere, from Birch Island to Algonquin Park, up north and beyond. Special thanks to Rob Grundy for his constant encouragement, editing, and contributions to this and past editions. Also, big high-fives to Ian Grundy, Rich Howard and Hil Best for their contributions, and to the Montreal chapter of Mi-A-Kon-Da and the McGill Outdoors Club for their suggestions and for testing out the book! I hope this book brings you all good times around the campfire, wherever that may be. Ashley Garrod 1985-2007 The 2008 edition of the Guitar Book is dedicated to Ashley Garrod, an outstanding Tanamakoon staff member and life-long camper who will always be remembered for her passion, devotion, and enthusiasm for camp and life. I will always remember her sitting patiently with her guitar book learning new songs and rocking out old favourites, and thank her for her guidance and leadership in Outdoor Ed and summer camp. Rock on, Ash. This book is intended for the personal use and enjoyment of campers, counsellors, and Outdoors Clubs. Many of the songs in the book are original tablatures, and many were adapted from crappy online versions. The tablatures in this book represent interpretations of artists’ work, which is property of the artists.

  • Event and Press Information
    EVENT AND PRESS INFORMATION Life As A Zebra Foundation Why Life as a Zebra? In medical school, students are taught to diagnose patients based on the condition that’s most likely. This idea goes along with the saying: “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.” The horses are the likely explanation, while the zebras are less likely. A medical zebra, then, is a person with a rare medical condition. Life as a Zebra Foundation’s Mission The Life as a Zebra Foundation educates, advocates, and secures funds and charitable contributions for the prevention, treatment, and research of various hard to diagnose invisible illnesses including, but not limited to, Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome, dysautonomia, and vasculitis. What We Do Secure funds for education, prevention, treatment, and research of various invisible illnesses including, but not limited to, Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome, dysautonomia, and vasculitis. Build a community of people who care about eradicating various chronic, invisible illnesses. Inspire and advocate for people who live with chronic, invisible illnesses by sharing personal stories about living with chronic illnesses through print and public speaking engagements. Accomplishments Life as a Zebra Foundation became a domestic, nonprofit foundation on November 8, 2012. The Life as a Zebra Foundation as raised nearly $70,000 for invisible illness awareness, education, and research in the three years since its establishment. The Life as a Zebra Foundation spearheaded the adoption of a resolution for Invisible Illness Awareness Week in the state of Michigan, held May 25-31, 2014. In June of 2014, members of the Life as a Zebra Foundation board traveled to Washington, D.C.

  • Turtle Rock Guitar Book 5.Pdf
    Preface to the 5th Edition This book and the Guitar Club that went with it started because one of my old counsellors put a few guitar chords into the official camp song book. Those chords were the reason I learned to play. That summer, when we were last-year campers, regular activities were cancelled one day because of stormy weather. We all piled into the lodge, where we sat with Ryley and her guitar, singing all afternoon. It was the first time a lot of us had ever sung our favourite camp songs with a guitar. At the time, I'd never even heard recordings of most of them. (This is before Napster, kids.) I remain ever thankful that we didn't play Rainy Day Bingo that afternoon. At the end of the summer I started writing in chords for the rest of the song book, which gradually led to the first edition of The Mi-A-Kon-Da Guitar Book. Since then, this book's seen a few new places and met a lot of new songs. It seemed about time to give it a name that would bring everything and everyone together. Turtle Rock does just this. On Birch Island, it's where the whole camp meets after lights out on Mi-A-Kon-Da night to sing quiet songs by the fire, listen to the camp legend, and watch the full moon rise over the lake. It's also where we meet for special cook-outs, reflections, and early in the morning to watch that bittersweet Last Sunrise of the Summer.
