On November 7th 2009, the Toons will be hosting our 4th Annual Multiple Sclerosis Benefit Concert. This year's concert will feature the MIT/Wellesley Toons, MIT Chorallaries, MIT Roadkill Buffet, Wellesley AscenDANCE, BC DOBC, Harvard EXP, Harvard Din & Tonics, and Suffolk Ramifications. The idea of the concert is to create a variety show for the entire community to enjoy in support of MS research, a cause that is very close to our hearts as one of our group alumni was diagnosed with MS a few years ago. We do not sell tickets for this show and have raised over $3000 in past years through voluntary donations alone. This year's show promises to be better than ever and we look forward to entertaining you!

Kim often integrates video and performance art, and takes on the role of director, editor, performer, composer, narrator, and writer to create works that are narrative yet dreamlike. His Summer Days in Keijo--written in 1937 is a fictional documentary based on Swedish ethnographer and zoologist Sten Bergman's 1937 travelogue In Korean Wilds and Villages. Keijo was the Japanese colonial name for Gyeongseong or Seoul, and Kim traces Bergman's pre-war path through present-day Seoul, using a Dutch female protagonist in his place. Kim created an elaborate soundtrack to the film in collaboration with the Amsterdam- and New York-based musician David Michael DiGregorio also known as dogr.

Shabbat lunch is served weekly during the academic year, coordinated by the Shabbat Lunch @ MIT cooperative (SLAMIT). Reservations are due by Wednesday noon with slamit@mit.edu. TechCash, checks payable to MIT Hillel, and cash are accepted

Change ringing is a style of bell ringing developed for large church bells in Britain several hundred years ago. It does not involve ringing a melody on the bells, but rather permuting the order of sounding the bells according to formal rules called methods. You don't need any musical skill or experience to learn change ringing. If you enjoy working with numerical patterns, chances are this will be an enjoyable activity for you! We are always looking for new ringers and would be glad to teach you to ring. Directions can be found here:
