Chamber News

People have been practicing massage as a healing therapy for centuries. Massage is currently the most widely used muscular therapy, with an estimated 100,000 practitioners in the U.S. Today, the term "therapeutic massage" refers to a range of manual therapies involving the manipulation of the soft-tissue structures in the body. In most cases, massage relieves muscle tension, reduces stress, and evokes feelings of calmness. Varieties of massage range from gentle stroking and kneading of muscles and other soft tissues to deeper manual techniques. Some focus on one specific function of the body (see lymphatic massage below). Others, such as trigger point and myotherapy, seek to relieve muscle contraction in a target area. Most practitioners rely on a combination of techniques. Currently, few clinical trials examine the effects of massage. However, practitioners believe that the therapeutic benefits of massage are due, in part, to its ability to affect changes in the musculoskeletal, circulator-lymphatic, and nervous systems.

Walk of Hearts - 10 Years of Teacher Appreciation Celebration - September 28th

Posted on 09/28/14

Founded in 2003, the WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation recognizes teachers for their dedication and continued record of excellence, commitment, innovation, and leadership in education.

Each year the WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation requests nominations from students, school staff and the community for teachers who embody these finest professional qualities.

The ideal nominee is a teacher who is motivating, stimulating, and has that unique ability to inspire and perhaps - with a word or two of encouragement – change a life. This individual creates a positive, pleasant and productive learning environment while treating their students with respect. They inspire the school and the community spirit by sharing ideas and successful methods with fellow teachers, setting an example of professionalism.

A WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation teacher has the respect and admiration of students, parents, and colleagues.

2014 marks the 10^th year of teacher recognition and the induction of the 50^th teacher.

This year’s recipients are:

v Eunice Chu – Porter Ranch Community School

v Mindy Levine - Haynes Charter for Enriched Studies

v Juliana Martinez – Justice Street Academy Charter School

v Gail Nettels – El Camino Real Charter High School

The plaque unveiling ceremony and reception is on Sunday, September 28, 2014 and is open to the public. There is a 10 Year Celebration luncheon after the ceremony for all in attendance.

10:00am – Recognition Ceremony & Plaque Unveiling at 21505 Sherman Way, in Historic Old Town Canoga Park on the corner of Sherman Way and Alabama Avenue.

11:30am – 10 Year Celebration Luncheon for all in attendance at the Canoga Park Youth Arts Center, 7222 Remmet Avenue.

BRING A BOOK!!! --- In support of the LAPD Topanga Station, we are asking everyone to bring a children’s, or young adult, book to donate to the Little Free Library.
