<div>Erie inventor John Kanzius, who devised a way to use directed radio waves in an attempt to kill cancer cells in humans, died today in Florida. Kanzius was battling the affects of pneumonia and leukemia at the time of his death. <br/>Researchers in Texas and Pittsburgh were testing the Kanzius Radio Wave Therapy and recent results seemed to indicate that the research was on the fast track for testing in humans. <br/>Kanzius was 64 years old and a former television executive in Erie.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>After we had such a good time at the Pgh Bellies event last weekend, I thought maybe some of our Erie friends might consider coming around the lake to Canadia for our next hafla, January 24th. (I'm the lone Khafifi living on the other side of the border, although Safa's up here right now, too). <br/>Check the original announcement below for details: <br/> <br/>The Northern Oasis Hafla rides again! <br/> <br/>We miss having our friends over to play music and dance all night, so we're finally hosting another hafla at our place. Details below: <br/> <br/>Bring your instruments and your favorite hip belts or scarves, and <br/>come over to our place to shimmy and play music all night long with <br/>friends. We'll have tasty middle eastern snackage and our usual <br/>homemade chai, and lots of room to dance, play music, or just lounge <br/>and show off your jewelry:-) <br/> <br/>When: Saturday, January 24th, 2009, beginning at 7pm <br/>Where: AEcern (Safiya &amp; Nott's), Kitchener, Ontario (write to me if you want details/directions) <br/> <br/>Coming from afar? Crash space available (let us know in advance, if possible- we do have several out-of-town/international guests coming already). Children, friends, partners welcome! Send me mail on tribe if you have questions...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>hey guys! <br/> <br/>I've heard from our Pittsburgh Bellies and it looks like everyone is still going to give it a go! <br/> <br/>Some out of towners are coming in to the hotel tonight to have the trip done and over with as there seems to be a break in the weather here now! The hotel has rooms available tonight and can put you under the Pittsburgh Bellies room rate if you want to come in early... <br/> <br/>So, we're still on, but please travel safe, and know that Erie understands if you can't make it! We sure will miss you though and will plan another event for like, summer! <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Definitely related to protecting ourselves from cancer, specifically lung cancer and other diseases: <br/>Not sure if you are aware of the Tire to Energy Plant that is being proposed for Erie, but it's right down the road by my house and on the Lake! <br/> <br/>My husband is working on their website : <br/>www.stopburningtires.com <br/> <br/>Both of us have been floored by the information we are reading as he is pulling together their site. It's mind boggling that this type of factory can even be considered legal. Please check it out and if I hear of ways to support their cause I will post info. <br/> <br/>Direct link to the article on exactly what tire burning is and how it affects our health. <br/>http://www.stopburningtires.com/Medical_Society_Position.pdf</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I just wanted to let you all know that I bumped into Olivia from Zafira at Sirius Rising at Brushwood on Friday. <br/> <br/>We spoke for a bit and I gushed about how much Zafira added to the event- both performances and workshops. She said she had a blast. I also let her know how much money was raised as a result of the fundraiser. She was really thrilled that everything went so well !</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>At Sat's candle dance rehearsal, many of the girls were discussing, inquiring etc about stage makeup. It was suggested to stay immed. after the practice to have a makeup "Bring out your inner drag Queen" party. This will be a great opportunity to ask questions, give advice, share makeup tips or even costuming and hair ideas. So hope you all can be there, cuz iz gonna be FUN! <br/> <br/>Speaking of costumes, I mentioned at last practice, for the rehearsal on Sat May 31 at 9am, this will be a SEMI dress rehearsal. We need to practice walking, going up steps and dancing in at least the clothing you will be wearing for the show. Remember, you will have both hands full with candles and will not be able to "hike" anything up if need be! Please take that into consideration when choosing your performance outfit. Safety is the main goal here! Can't have any of ma girlz gettin' hurt! <br/> <br/>Also, for candle dance participants, please remember to mark your calender for our TENATIVE date to practice at the Erie Playhouse, Wed. May 28th at 8pm. I'll let you know when this is confirmed! </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 11 replies </div>

The John Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation, of course, is the beneficiary of this event, however, I just want to say I feel like the biggest benefactor. This event has given me the opportunity to get to know alot of you alot better and I feel very lucky to have had your support and friendships. I'm have loved every minute of spending time with all of you from the meetings, to the candle dance rehearsals, to the promotion at Borders, (I will never forget the head snaps of unsuspecting Borders customers, still makes me laugh). A lot of you have put your heart and soul into this event..and I hope it's something you will always have good memories of and will be proud to have been a part of!! If/when this research concludes in a successful way, you can pass it on that you were a part of making it happen. Thank you all so much for helping this idea/dream become possible, you are all special in your own, unique ways, and I am glad to have been a part of your life in some way!! <br/> <br/>Kay, let's go kick some A$$ tommorow night, lelelelele!!!!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>So it's official, we got the letter to ask for donations for the Chinese Auction. I volunteered to organize, so here goes. As you know from my haflas, I'm a Chinese Auction basket whore. I love it, I think it's fun, and the buzz it creates at the hafla is always awesome. <br/> <br/>Here's the difference for this event. <br/>1 - At the haflas, we advertise it as an Arabian Auction, because the baskets are bellydance themed. At this event, I feel that we should keep the baskets as appealing to the general public as possible, because in contrast to our haflas, the majority of our ShiCu audience are not bellydancers. Hence, we keep the name Chinese Auction. I'm not saying a few bellydance-ish baskets aren't welcome, by all means. But I feel the majority of the choices should appeal to everyone and anyone. We want people to buy lots of tickets. <br/>2 - At my haflas, I buy 90% of the baskets out of my pocket. Usually, I spend about $300 on baskets, and generate about the same amount in ticket sales. In other words, the way I've done it in the past is not a huge money maker. I mostly do it because the crowd loves it and I enjoy doing it. The difference here for this event is that we will be not be buying/making our own baskets, we will be asking for donations only, so all the money from the tickets can go straight to charity. <br/>3 - I feel that the baskets need to be really exciting for this type of event. This is not a hafla. This is a charity benefit, where people will be dressed up, wandering around with a glass of wine and a wallet to spend money. We want them to drop that money towards the cause. The more exciting the basket, the more tickets they will buy. We need to think big, special, and unique, but something that appeals to everyone. We want people crossing their fingers that they will win that basket, in fact, we want them to put several tickets in just one basket. Plus, the more baskets, the better. I'm shooting for at least 20. <br/> <br/>We're coming up close on this event, and in order to secure 20 phenomenal baskets, I'm going to need some volunteers to help collect donations. Even if you volunteer to secure just one basket, that is a huge help. Volunteers need to contact a business, really talk up the event and the CAUSE of the event. We need to give them the official letter so that they can write off their donation at tax time. We need to give them more than the incentive of "it's for a good cause". Just a warm fuzzy feeling isn't enough for some people. We need to offer free advertising for their business through either listing their name as a sponsor in the program, or setting up a table at the event where they can place business cards or promotional materials. We also need to not be afraid to ask for a big donation, and to get them to commit to creating the basket and picking it up in time for the event. <br/> <br/>Listed below are some of the ideas that I have come up with. I'll number them.......if you see an item that you really want to do, please list that number and state that you will volunteer. If you have connections to these businesses, all the better. If you have more suggestions, I'm all ears! <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 42 replies </div>

I am starting to do Festivals now and not familiar with what Fest's are happening for the rest of the summer that are good for vending in these here parts of the Norht East!! . So if anyone can give me any suggestions i would sooo greatly apprecaite it !! <br/> <br/>Also i am vry interested in being a part of Pennsic but unfortuantly now i have a straght job and can only be out there for a week. I have been told that if i am able to even get a booth still, (which if anyone knows who i would speak to woudl be awesome) !! but if i were under the main Bazzar tent it is possable to find someone to look after my booth and sell it while i am not ther for the first week. I woud set it up on the first weekend and be back for the second week. <br/> <br/>Also i am interested in knowing of any suggestions on any great street fest's or music Fest's in NYC, NJ, Penn etc etc <br/> <br/> <br/>thank you sooo much and Radiant Radiant blessings to you. Also below is a synopsis of what i sell (minus all the pretty graghics ... sorry ) <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Soul Kiss is blend of goods all finely chosen or made by my own design in various places around the world. If you find me at a Festival, this is what you will see: <br/> <br/> \ Soul Kiss Silver - Many of my peices are antique. Much of the very rare and authentically old peices of silver from India are gone, However I am still able to bring incredably rare and old peices to my customers. Many of the peices i get are old sterling silver wedding peices from women in Rhajastan which i find and re-string them into a clevor design of necklaces which are adjustable. Becuase they are adjustable they are like three neck's in one becuase they can be worn as a high choker or many different lengths. When worn as a choker the strands hang down the back. Soul Kiss also carries very unique stones, an awesome eclectic array of earings and rings. <br/> \ Mid priced jewerly - Also very unique designs. Much of of it is made of natural elements such as wood, bamboo and stones. All with a very exotic feel. <br/> <br/> \ Clothing - All my own designs. Mostly street wear with a tribal edge. Great all natural japenese style shirts for women, with hand painted wood beaded tyes. Beautiful skirts with panels of very old hand embroidered fabrics the northern Indian gypsy tribes. Lots of Men's too which is rare at Fest's because there are never any great choices for guys!! All made with beautiful natural fabrics. sexy. <br/> <br/> \ Beautiful Statues and hand carved masks - All carved out of exotic woods such as mango wood and jackfruit wood etc. All of my carvings i have made in very small villages in the high mountains of Bali. I support many many families and artisans in those villages. <br/> <br/> \ Accesories - I carry many various Sacred art scarves from India, I have yummy pashimina's that make great elegant shawls for a light weight but warm cover up for the summer. And great prices too !! Soul Kiss carries alot of antique wedding sari's that are gorgous. <br/> \For the Bellydancers - Depending on the Festival, you will always find great stuf for the Bellydancers. Some of the Fest's more so, depending on which one, but e-mail me and i will let you know which ones. I will always carry exotic adormnents tho that are not readily seen at most or all fest's !! So please visit me soon <br/> <br/>Thanx Sheri Poole <br/> <br/>Soul Kiss World Imports <br/> <br/>P.S - Please let me know if you know of any other music Fest's or great street Fest's that you have been to!! I am new to the East Coast and just learning where and when all the great Fest's are !! Thanx and hope to C you Soon !! <br/> </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div> <br/>ERIE <br/>"The City That Cured Cancer" <br/>Why Not ? <br/>When I was a kid growing up, Erie was known as "An All-American City." And now with Erie native, John Kanzius, making so much progress with his RadioFrequency Cancer Treatment I feel it would be great if the WHOLE CITY rallied around his research to help this all become a reality. Wouldn't it be great to call ourselves the CITY THAT CURED CANCER!! I know we have all known someone affected by the big "C", there is no need to dwell on its effect to a family. I feel it is something this country NEEDS to solve. <br/> <br/>If you are not aware of his remarkable research, please visit the site here. http://www.kanziuscancerresearch.com/ <br/> <br/>To help "kick things off" please visit Erie Times news showcase on Thursday May 1st and look for our special "coupon." It is a coupon that is a win-win for everyone! <br/> <br/>I appreciate everyone taking the time to read this special announcement! <br/>Jeff Norris <br/>Twins Restaurant &amp; Catering <br/>4353 West Ridge Road <br/>Erie, Pa 16506 <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Just a reminder, May 7th is the deadline to hand in your forms with names and money for the candle sponsorships so that they can be printed in the program. I will give you a receipt upon receiving your forms and money. <br/> <br/>Unaware of what this is about...you can have a name/names of a loved one afflicted with cancer in the Shimmy for a Cure Gala for a min $5 donation per name. It will be written in honor or memory of and the person's name and dollar amt donated. The first performance of the evening will feature a Memorial candle bellydance, the candles will remain lit on stage in honor/ memory of cancer victims/survivors. You can message me privately if you're interested in more details regarding this. Again, all proceeds will benefit the John Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation. <br/> <br/>Just an idea, to try getting more sponsors, try writing down 25 names of people you know and call them to see if they may be interested. Thanks for your help with this! </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>We're using our love of ME dance for the cause as well... <br/> <br/>dcwalk.y-me.org/site/PageServer <br/> <br/>Out of the "Clubs and Organizations" our team, Bellies for Breasts, is in a *very* close second. All we need is a little help to catch up, and we're sure to come out first in our category!! :) <br/> <br/>Our team of six belly dance students has really worked hard to raise money for Y-ME. And while it's fun perform for the walk participants and to engage in a little friendly competition as we read about how the other teams are doing, we know that there are women, their families, and their friends who face the reality of breast cancer every day. As dancers, we are so fortunate to have our health and to be able to share the joy of Middle Eastern music and dance. So fundraising for Y-ME is fun for us, but we take it seriously, and we couldn't do it without the support of the ME dance community, our family, and our friends. <br/> <br/>We are also so grateful for our dance teachers who make it possible for us to spread the love and joy of belly dance on Mother's Day. <br/> <br/>And if you're so inclined, you can go here to donate main.y-me.org/goto/Rajni; if you want to donate to the team in general, there's a link to that there as well. :) <br/> <br/>Thanks everyone! <br/> <br/>Rajni <br/>main.y-me.org/goto/Rajni </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I took Jess's advice and filled the candle votives with water for our 2nd candle bellydance rehearsal. What a great idea to keep us aware of how we're handling the votives..needless to say we were doing a lot of wiping up the floor, LOL.

<div>I have confirmed Sun. May 4th for the Community Booth at the Millcreek Mall. I've been told the booth fits a max of 4 people comfortably, so if we have more than 4 volunteers, would could break it up in shifts if need be. The time we have the booth is from 11am to 6pm. For those who can make it and are interested, let me know what time frame you're avail. I'll be there the whole time.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 8 replies </div>

<div>Thank all of you that participated in the first candle dance practice, I thought you all looked darn good for a first run through! I saw it on video and it actually looked great. I'm sure once the candles are lit, it's gonna really look awesome! I hope you all liked the song..I picked it because it's serious (not too depressing), yet strong and graceful...appropriate for this type of memorial dance! I want you all to feel proud to be part of this dance, it will be very special and hopefully something you will always remember being a part of! <br/> <br/>Next practice will be at Northcoast Dance Studio 12 noon, Sat. 4/19, I will try to keep it around 1hr long so as to not hog up your Saturday!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>Hey ya'll... <br/> <br/>I made some mini-fliers (the kind you can make 4 out of on one sheet of paper), and am going to put them out at the place where Di and I teach.

<div>Annette, you may have thought of it... in leau of the corporate sponsor needing ID numbers and the like, how about asking for "program" sponsors... Those that want to make a larger donation and be recognized in the program in the manner of 1/4 page, 1/2 page or full page logo/advertisment..... just trying to think how to still obtain larger donations and give the recognition of doing so.... it would not even be limited to corporations or businesses... it could be an individual or family. For Example, a donation of $200 will be recognized in a full page, $100 for half page or $50 for quarter page. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>We can use their "Community Booth" to promote our event, sell tickets, obtain candle dance sponsors and sell tees. There was a few different dates she offered me availability and I tenatively picked Sun. May 4 from 11am to 6pm. They prefer we don't wear costumes or dance. I think they were afraid of it being too risque (note, this booth is directly across from Victoria's Secret, LOL.) The booth is fairly small and a max of 4 people can fit comfortably in it. Let me know if anyone is interested in helping with this. There are other dates too if need be, I just need to get back to her with a confirmation.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/charitybellydanceevent08">Shimmy for a Cure!</a> - 9 replies </div>
