PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S GREETING
Come in and discover our full fall roster! We are continually striving to bring
value to our members by expanding our list of member benefits as well as
programs and services at our main campus and locations across the Island of
Montreal.
Come tour the Centre at our two-day Open House on August 29 and 30,
meeting with our staff and volunteers and see Cummings in action with arts
and crafts demonstrations, free fitness evaluations, our Volunteer Recruitment
event and more. As an added feature this year, we will be offering free one-time
trial classes across many disciplines.
Our focus is on you and we are listening! Many of our members and dedicated
corps of volunteers have asked us to bring more programs into the communities
in which they live. The roster of programs at our main Westbury Campus
remains robust with the addition of increased programming throughout the
city. We are continuing to partner with many neighbourhood organizations
enabling us to expand our network delivering a fuller range of activities for our
participants well into the future.
Become part of our Virtual Learning community from the comfort of home.
Whether because of mobility issues, care-giving responsibilities, winters
down south or simply bad weather, why not stay connected with over 100
lectures available from the video library? You can also join our real-time Book
Club participating in discussion groups. The Virtual Learning community is
another added bonus for our members.
Soyez les bienvenus! Try out our expanded French programming especially
designed to meet the needs of the French speaking 50+ older adult.
Thank you for your continued thoughtful feedback. If you’re back from a quick
summer getaway or coming to try some of our activities for the first time, we
are waiting for you! Take a few minutes to go through our Fall Guide noting our
expanded offerings alongside increased programming in the West Island and
Côte Saint-Luc areas or consult the website at cummingscentre.org.

LEONARD BERNSTEIN IS 100
Born one hundred years ago, Leonard
Bernstein was unquestionably one of
the most incredibly talented, popular
and dynamic personalities in the entire
history of music. In his 72 years he
played the roles of conductor,
composer, pianist, author, lecturer,
philosopher, and overall champion
of music - and he played them all
supremely well. We'll listen to some
of his music written for film, for the
Broadway stage and for the concert
hall, as well as observe him in action
as conductor, pianist and television
personality.
