]]> 2nd Annual Academy Telethon Coming Up Soon https://www.academysrq.org/en/posts/happenings/2nd-annual-academy-telethon-coming-up-soon/ Thu, 30 Jul 2020 21:02:32 +0000 http://127.0.0.1/github/bayfrontmedia/academysrq.org/web/posts/happenings/2nd-annual-academy-telethon-coming-up-soon/ Our 2nd Annual Academy Telethon is less than a month away, and our Multimedia team is hard at work, scripting, filming and editing the pre-recorded segments for this hour-long event. We are all having so much fun participating in the filming, but until the final results are revealed, we all have to wait and wonder if our scenes made the final cut, or if we are destined for the cutting room floor. It is no easy task for our team, but they are making the dream work!

Back by popular demand, the Telethon will once again be co-hosted by the always-entertaining Ambassador, Stewie “Jerry Lewis” Bitterman. And, as they did last year, our friends at the Steinwachs Family Foundation are providing a 1:1 match to our donations. There will be fun surprises and cameo appearances. We don’t want to say too much; you just have to tune in on August 26 at 7 p.m. at AcademySRQ.org/live.

]]> Hybrid Clubhouse Worldwide    https://www.academysrq.org/en/posts/happenings/hybrid-clubhouse-worldwide/ Tue, 09 Jun 2020 12:37:04 +0000 http://127.0.0.1/github/bayfrontmedia/academysrq.org/web/posts/happenings/hybrid-clubhouse-worldwide/ As the coronavirus pandemic changes the world, the term “internet age” is taking on a whole new meaning. People of all ages and backgrounds have had to adjust to living out some part of their life through a screen. This could not be more true for the Academy at Glengary. This is why we were thrilled when Clubhouse International asked us to present on our new Hybrid Work-Ordered Day in a world-wide webinar.

Clubhouse International helps to start and support Clubhouse programs all over the world. They officially accredited the Academy at Glengary two years ago. As a young Clubhouse, it is an honor to present on the complex process of reopening our facility.

Academy member Ian Churchill and Young Adult Coordinator Idanes Paredes spearheaded the project and facilitated the presentation. With tech support from Joanne Campbell, the Academy had an awesome PowerPoint to share as well as a short film by Multimedia Team and Coordinator Katelyn Grimmett.

“I felt excited and joyful to be able to share something about our community to the rest of the world,” Ian Churchill emphatically expressed. “Just being able to share how we implemented early stages of Clubhouse operation with onsite and virtual integration was quite meaningful to me.”

Several Clubhouses followed up after the webinar to inquire about the technology, software, grants and programs the Academy is lucky enough to employ on a daily basis. Of course, the most important piece in reopening was teamwork.

“For me, it was exciting to share the progress we’ve made in our Clubhouse,” Idanes Paredes said. Thank you Clubhouse International.
