They bring so much to our community!

• Local and national music acts at an affordable price. 🎶

• FREE music lessons for veterans and first responders. 🇺🇸

• Their kids’ band where the kids get to learn from local musicians. 🪕

• Their national award winning Musical Memories Cafe!
This is a program now being held in multiple locations where those with dementia and Alzheimer’s and their caregivers come together for lunch, for mutual support, and to hear music from their era. ❤️

When it comes to giving, you want to make sure you are giving to our local nonprofits.
That helps make sure that a much higher percentage of your money goes to the cause.
Donating locally also keeps your donation dollars right here in our community.

The West Falls Center for the Arts exemplifies helping community in so many ways, especially making sure some of our more vulnerable groups are connected and know they are cared for.

If you can find it in your heart, please consider donating.
You should come see a show, too.😉

Lucky us to have nonprofits like this in our community. 💛

Help your body be healthier this holiday season!🎄

Nothing takes the fun out of the holidays like being sick. There are a number of things you can do to help your body be at its best!

Here are just a couple tips from the email that went out this morning. Read the rest, see previous emails, and subscribe here: https://mailchi.mp/f00725721813/help-your-immune-system-to-help-you?e=a97444e447

Get your sleep.
Personally, sleep is my weakest health behavior. I have a tendency to work too late. I am currently making sleep a priority! Adults should be getting 7-9 hours of sleep. Tips for getting more sleep include scheduling your bedtime, including time to wind down without looking at a screen (phone, computer, or TV). Dim the lights before bedtime and follow the same steps in preparing for bed. Having a routine helps to tell your brain it is time to sleep.

Get your protein.
If you go back a couple of emails, I discussed protein at length. Your basic rule of thumb is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that in half - that is your MINIMUM amount of protein in grams that you should be taking in every day. Recommendations are 1/2-3/4 of your body weight in grams of protein each day. Protein provides the amino acids needed to build and repair body tissues and to produce immune system proteins, such as antibodies.
Tip: If you are losing hair, bump up your protein intake! Most people are not getting enough unless we are making an effort.
Food sources: Meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils, seeds.

Come shop with us! 🎁

This is where I’ll be tomorrow. I coordinate the vendors.
We would love to see you there! 💛

Why do I donate my time to the ?

The West Falls Center for the Arts brings in local and national music artists. They get amazing acts! For example, Livingston Taylor will be back in 2026! 🎉

Even more importantly, in my opinion, they have their Musical Memories program where they provide lunch and local musicians play for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. That program is now also being held at multiple locations in WNY. 🥰

They also provide free music lessons for veterans and donation based lessons for kids. 🪕 🎶

Our goal with the holiday market is to bring people into the West Falls Center for the Arts so they’re aware of the Center and all they do.

The holiday market is a lot of fun with alpacas and food for purchase along with great locally made gifts.
If you have time and can stop by, we’d love it! 🦙 🌮 🎁

Email that just went out:
Tips for a healthier Thanksgiving! 🦃

You are probably expecting me to take all the fun out of Thanksgiving by telling you to avoid eating most of the good stuff, meaning the carbohydrates.
No worries - I’m not going to do that!
Thanksgiving and the holidays in general are here for a limited time and the special foods that are a part of the holidays are important to many of us. When it comes to health and weight loss, what we do on a daily basis most days of the year is really what makes the difference in the long run.

That said, holiday overeating can leave you with stomach upset, feeling bloated, and feeling less than proud of yourself. Let’s discuss some strategies to help you mindfully enjoy Thanksgiving and the holidays!
