SUMMARY:Author and Speaker Robert Marshall comes to Ann Arbor for “Encounters with Heaven\,” presented by Divine Encounter Church at Washtenaw Community College
DESCRIPTION:­ \nWhat would you ask someone who says he died\, went to Heaven\, and returned? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMetro Detroit and Southeast Michigan residents will have three opportunities over Labor Day WEEKEND to hear that extraordinary account firsthand when author and speaker Robert Marshall comes to Ann Arbor for “Encounters with Heaven\,” presented by Divine Encounter Church at Washtenaw Community College. \nThe special three-day event will take place Friday\, September 4; Saturday\, September 5; and Sunday\, September 6\, 2026\, immediately preceding Labor Day on Monday. \nNo cost\, no registration. Open to the public.\nMarshall\, who resides in Texas\, authored 44 Hours in Heaven which tells of his 2024 medical crisis when he was declared clinically dead and went to heaven.

has -trews – trousers”. The dance shows how the trews were \n\n\nhappily kicked off when the law was repealed. The Sword Dance shows the dancers dancing \n\n\naround the swords that are strategically placed on the floor or shield without touching them. To \n\n\nbe successful in this feat meant good luck in battle. The dance was done before and after the \n\n\nbattle to celebrate victory. \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 1st there will be Wee Bairns Area (Children’s Area) \n\n\n\n\nThe members of the St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit believe that ‘kids are our future’ and thus \n\n\nhave expanded the Wee Bairns area of the Highland Games. Noted by some who travel to \n\n\nHighland Games around the country is the fact that our children’s area is second to none. \n\n\nUsually\, over 800 children enjoy this part of the games. Youngsters can design a targe (shield)\, \n\n\nmake a headdress\, use a catapult (under supervision) and get involved in the reenactments where \n\n\nthey could have fun and learn something at the same time. They’ll have their own parade where \n\n\nthey could share their targes and head pieces. Story tellers are also in the area involving children \n\n\nin history and suspense. Paula Lupi from Sterling Heights makes this all happen to the delight of \n\n\nthe children and their parents. \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 1st there will be Scottish Animals \n\n\n\n\nDid you ever see a Highland Cow (Coo)? Well\, now is your chance. These big very furry animals \n\n\nwill be at the Annual Highland Games in Livonia. Along with the coos will be the Westies\, \n\n\nGordon Setters and the Bearded Collies. Delighting crowds of all ages these animals\, all native \n\n\nto Scotland are a big hit at the Games.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 1st there will be Living History Presentations \n\n\n\n\nThe St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit can boast that it hosts one of the greatest reenactment units \n\n\naround at its Highland Games. Grant’s Company of the 142nd Highlanders help give color to the \n\n\ngames showing visitors how life used to be. Historical demonstrations let young and old get \n\n\ninvolved and have a wonderful educational experience.  \n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 1st there will be a Tug O’ War Competition \n\n\n\n\nAgain\, this year teams will compete at a Tug O’ War on the main field. Each team will enter the \n\n\nfield in its own unique vehicle. This crowd pleaser event offers a trophy to the winning team. \n\n\nThe trophy is a loving cup that has been around St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit for over 100 \n\n\nyears. It was first presented at the Games in 1914 by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 1st Music All Day at the Entertainment Tent \n\n\n\n\nThe great bands who’ll play Friday evening at the Céilidh will perform throughout the day \n\n\nSaturday in the big\, Entertainment Tent. Saturday admission to the Entertainment Tent is \n\n\nincluded in the price of a gate ticket.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 1st there will be Scotch Whisky Tastings \n\n\n\n\nBack by popular demand is the Scotch Whisky Tasting event. This educational and fun \n\n\npresentation will need a special ticket (available online only). Visitors to this activity will have \n\n\nthe opportunity to taste different Scotch Whiskeys and learn all about them. Tickets for the \n\n\nScotch tasting are $60.00 plus a small handling fee. The Scotch Tasting is on Saturday\, August \n\n\n1st at 1pm & 3pm. You must purchase a Games Entrance ticket or a Patron ticket with this ticket. \n\n\nThis ticket can only be purchased online \n\n\n\n\n\nTicket Information for the Games\, Saturday August 1st  \n\n\n\n\nGeneral Admission Gate Advance Ticket: $25 plus a small handling fee / Ticket at Gate: $30 \n\n\n\n\nChildren under 12 are free if accompanied by an adult. \n\n\n\n\nTickets are available at Greenmead or online www.highlandgames.com \n\n\n\n\n\nPatron Tickets for the Games\, Saturday\, August 1st  \n\n\n\n\nBecome a PATRON OF THE GAMES\, and for your generosity we offer you the comfort and \n\n\nconvenience of the Patron’s Hospitality Tent\, located on the Main Field\, and Reserved Parking. \n\n\nCold Beverages\, assorted fruits and vegetables\, cheeses\, scones and shortbread and other \n\n\nScottish hors d’oeuvres will be served throughout the day at the Patron’s Hospitality Tent. A cash \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nbar

SUMMARY:The Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor  - National Cancer Survivors Day® Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor in Partnership with the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center to Recognize Cancer Survivors and Raise Awareness on National Cancer Survivors Day® – June 7th\, 2026 \nJune 7\, 2026\, will mark the 39th annual National Cancer Survivors Day® Celebration of Life. \nAnn Arbor\, Michigan – National Cancer Survivors Day® is Sunday\, June 7th. On this day\, people around the world will unite to recognize cancer survivors\, raise awareness of the ongoing challenges these survivors face because of their disease\, and – most importantly – celebrate life. \nTo commemorate National Cancer Survivors Day®\, Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor has partnered with The University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center to host a Cancer Survivors Day Celebration. It is a celebration for anyone who has been impacted by cancer to connect with others and honor milestones in their journey. \n“Despite its challenges\, life with and after cancer can be beautiful and joyous\,” says Bonnie Dockham\, Executive Director of the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor. “You will find our community’s National Cancer Survivors Day® celebration filled with hope\, camaraderie\, and compassion as we honor cancer survivors\, their loved ones and health care providers.” \nThis free event will welcome all survivors\, caregivers and loved ones. It will feature exhibits on survivorship issues\, a formal program with a keynote speaker\, entertainment\, food\, drinks\, and door prizes. This local event is part of a worldwide celebration coordinated by the National Cancer Survivors Day® Foundation. A cancer survivor is defined as any person from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. In the U.S. alone\, there are more than 18 million cancer survivors. By 2030\, the number of cancer survivors in the U.S. is projected to increase to 22.2 million. \nAs the number of survivors continues to grow\, it is becoming ever more important to address the unique needs of this population. In addition to facing a serious illness\, cancer survivors must contend with rising drug costs; inadequate insurance coverage; difficulty finding or keeping jobs; and ongoing physical\, emotional\, and financial struggles that can persist even after treatment ends. Considering these challenges\, our community must stand with these survivors on National Cancer Survivors Day® and make a commitment to lessening the burden of cancer survival. \nThe Cancer Survivors Day Celebration is open to the public on Sunday\,  June 7th\, 2026 from 12:00pm-3:30pm and will be held in the Morris J. Lawrence Building on the Campus of Washtenaw Community College (4800 E Huron River Dr\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48105). \nVisit cancersupportannarbor.org/survivorsday for more information. \nAbout the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor \nCancer Support Community (CSC) of Greater Ann Arbor is part of an international non-profit organization whose mission is to uplift and strengthen people impacted by cancer by providing support\, fostering compassionate communities\, and breaking down barriers to care. All programs are completely free of charge and offered in a comfortable\, home-like environment. The Cancer Support Community offers professionally-led support groups\, educational workshops\, nutrition and exercise programs\, and stress-reduction classes that empower and educate people touched by cancer. CSC is the only organization in Washtenaw County devoted solely to providing this support\, education\, and hope to cancer patients\, their friends\, family and children. The center is located at 2010 Hogback Road\, Suite 3\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48105.  For more information: www.cancersupportannarbor.org.

It is made up of lifelong musicians and those who have taken up a musical instrument later on in life (that\ninstrument not always being the uke!). As we age the brain needs all the help it can get. We all know that to be true\, but here’s the medical/technical bit interwoven with the rock n roll bit:\nBrain plasticity (neuroplasticity) is the brain’s ability to reorganize its structure\, functions\, and connections throughout life. It is critical because it enables learning new\nskills (like music as a language etc)\, memory formation remembering chords and scales)\, adapting to new environments one might argue that learning to improvise if\nyou’ve spent a lifetime as a classical musicians falls into his category)\, and recovering from injuries like strokes – in fact\, the collective’s director Mike Brooks has done this\nvery thing\,: recovered from a brain injury 30 years ago which left him unable to walk properly for 18 months. Plasticity allows the brain to bypass damaged areas and\nmaintain cognitive health – but we must help our own brain to do this. The collective makes music but it also makes our brains work better. Remain more\nplastic. It’s called neuro genesis. Every time we play\, we laugh\, we learn and we plasticize our brains – you can’t see the plasticity happening: but you hear the fruits of it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
