PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I
n typical fall fashion, Mooredale
is a hive of activity! Our nurturing
preschool opened up its doors for
another exciting year, welcoming those
arriving back from summer break and
greeting warmly all of our new youngest
members. Soccer and sports took to
the field again, a new roster of fantastic
programs were introduced and once
again, Soctoberfest was a hit with our adult soccer community
and provided a great day of competition. On the homefront,
two of our staff members recently entered parenthood:
Stephanie Chu, Pool Manager and front desk staff, had a little
boy, Hudson, and Chris Keem, Soccer Manager, welcomed a
daughter, Carina, last week. Congratulations, best of luck and
happy sleeping to both Steph and Chris!
November marks the end of term for our Board of
Directors as we prepare to vote in the proposed slate at our
Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, November 18. I would
like to take this opportunity to thank our Board members
who will be departing: James McNee as Pool Director, a
solid presence with a wealth of experience and insight, along
with a keen sense of humour; Katharine Lake Berz who
took on the Volunteer & Community Liaison role with such
enthusiasm, organization and innovative ways to honour our
volunteer base, the most critical aspect of Mooredale; Erik
Mathiesen, our long-time Treasurer who always manages to
churn out favourable reports and reassure us that the sky
isn’t falling; Rachel Busbridge who will be moving out of the
Preschool position and has provided extraordinary guidance
and initiatives for our little people at Mooredale; and Shuchi
Stanger as Past President, whose historical perspective is
always greatly appreciated.
As my two-year term as President comes to a close,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the
Mooredale Board members for making my tenure such an
enriching experience. I have loved every minute of it and
credit must go to this amazing team for the extraordinary
collaborative effort, hard work and good humour. Meetings
are a pleasure to attend with lively discussion and support
being the framework with which we have moved forward as
a community organization. Mooredale occupies a very special
corner of this city and I know that there are only great things
in our future!
Of course, Mooredale cannot operate without its
dedicated staff. Joanna Ingram, Catherine Loeffler and
Stephanie Chu provide friendly faces and ongoing support in
the front office with all manner of administration; Susan Li
remains our greatest asset in accounting and we welcome our
new caretaker, Ignacio Mateo, who will take on the day-to-day
tending of this big old house. Eric Musselman put together
a banner summer for many day campers and continues to
offer innovative programming for young and old alike; Chris
Keem, Blake Koester and Breanna Van Abbema work hard
to keep our soccer program among the best in the city and
provide a wide variety of other sports to keep our youth active,
2
all year long. Carolyn Burgess and her competent preschool
staff succeed at keeping Mooredale Preschool top of its class
through a stimulating, thoughtful environment that focuses on
mutual respect.
The final shoutout goes to Marjorie Booth, our Executive
Director, who deals with all and everything on a daily basis,
always with a smile and with many years of wisdom. She steers
the boat with confidence and enthusiasm and never wavers
from her commitment to making Mooredale one-of-a-kind.
Thank you, Marjorie, for allowing me to work so closely with
you and see first-hand all that you do. You are a gift to our
community.
All the best to you and your families as we head into
shorter days and colder temperatures. Enjoy the season ahead
and never hesitate to reach out to all of us here at Mooredale!
Best

To Everything There is a Season
A Fruitful Fall
We are in the midst of a busy and
fruitful Fall term now – and we are
thankful for that!
• F
all trips to pick apples are on the agenda for some
Preschool classes
• Everyone will get into the Hallowe’en spirit with special
costumes, black and orange art, and pumpkins galore
• Fall recreation activities will carry on until December
• Flag Football, Soctoberfest, Hoops and Hockey are
underway this Fall too
• The Mooredale Annual General Meeting will focus on a
review of 2015, some wonderful volunteers who serve on
the Mooredale Board of Directors, and some highlights
coming up for 2016. Please join us on Wednesday,
November 18 at 7:30pm at Mooredale.
A Frosty and Frolicking Winter
First – Make note of the Winter Wonderland Family Day at
Mooredale on Saturday November 28. The Preschool Families
have organized a day of food, fun activities and general
merriment. We also expect to welcome that famous ‘jolly old
soul’ to greet the children.
In this issue, you will find the Winter Recreation Guide
from Eric Mussleman, Mooredale Program Manager and Camp
Director. Eric has forecasted a warm welcome to those who
register in the many programs for adults, youth and children:
• W
hy not sign up for Adult Keep Fit and work off the extra
holiday ounces (grams?) you may have gained?
• Why not register your kids for Ski or Snowboard lessons
after school – special bus pick-ups at Whitney School and
Mooredale?
• Pick one or both of our March Break weeks and fill the
holiday with unique day trips and camp like fun!
• Outdoor Sports continue with Skating and Hockey (starting
in December, weather and city permits pending) so enjoy
the fresh air outdoors when you can.
Festive Fun over the Holidays
As we approach the holiday season, we are all thinking about
how lucky we are to live in Canada and in this community.
We wish you the very best for your holidays filled with family,
friends and good times together.

We would love to hear from you!
Update On Syrian
Refugee Sponsors –
Rosedale United Church
A
n outpouring of support from within the community,
including many Mooredale members is leading to as
many as 8 sponsorships being put in place in partnership
with the Refugee Committee of Rosedale United Church. With
the experience of this group (47 sponsored refugees over past 15
years, including family recently arrived from Syria) and a standing
sponsorship agreement with the federal immigration folks,
community groups will have support and cooperation to move
these acts of compassion along the complex path.
Watch for details about a fundraising event set for Sunday
November 8 at the church (‘5,000 Miles’) featuring top performing
artists, some of whom will also be involved in the morning
Remembrance service that day (‘This Sound Is Not The Fury’) with a
special focus on the displacements of war.
Thanks to so many for this promising hospitality, loving the
neighbour as yourself. Ongoing updates will be posted at

Marketing and
Sponsorship
Kirk Lynn
Director of Marketing and Sponsorship
T
he lifeblood of Mooredale is in our
members being active in our events
and day-to-day activities. We live and
breathe on the participation in our yearround myriad offerings, along with relying
heavily on our tremendous volunteer base.
Of course, the success of this model is
dependent upon us building and running
top-notch activities in a rather competitive
Toronto marketplace, as well as in our
membership being made aware of what options are available for
their family members.
Mooredale currently uses several channels to build awareness
and participation. In print, we utilize our Mooredale News
newsletter, our Recreation and Camp guides and a number of
flyers and bulletins. Online, we have our excellent website and
several social media options. Coordinating all of these channels
in a sophisticated manner allows us to reach our marketing and
Association goals. While all of these cost funds to operate and the
right mix can be difficult to build, they ultimately help us stay in
communication with our members and partners.
We also have a strong group of partners (Rosedale Tennis
Club and Champion Tae Kwon Do to name just a couple) and
a growing network of advertisers and sponsors. All of these
groups are attracted to Mooredale due to the demographics of
our membership and the activities we operate. Over 90% of our
membership comes from the 8 postal codes that surround the
Mooredale House and this area is comprised of educated, affluent,
active families. It’s not the right market for every company but for
some, we offer excellent fit and the opportunity to build brand
awareness and engage in meaningful dialogue.
When I joined the Mooredale board in 2014, I challenged
all of my peers to become ambassadors for the marketing and
sponsorship effort and I am now extending that offer to all
members. I am asking everyone to think practically about:
While we are going to pursue this effort in a discrete manner
that respects the DNA of Mooredale, it is important that we
continue to grow and plan for a healthy future. Should you have
any interesting ideas or contacts that would benefit from some
partnership information, please feel free to reach out to me.
Many thanks,
Kirk Lynn, MSc.

Imagine finding a caregiver who
becomes almost like family…
a) how can you help attract new members to Mooredale?
b) what companies would want to advertise to our members?
c)what partners would you like to see us work with to make
the Mooredale better?
Perhaps you own or work at a firm that would make a good
partner or you do business in your personal life with a company
whose services would be appealing to other Mooredale members.
7000 heads are better than one and personal relationships are the
key to us getting a substantive discussion going with a potential
partner. We have a wide number of appealing options to offer to
our partners, including the cost, frequency and activity or method.
• Personal care–bathing, dressing,
hygiene, laundry, light housekeeping
• Medication supervision
• Joyful companionship
• Mobile hair care
• Foot care
• Escorting to appointments; shopping
• Referral for solutions for mobility needs
• RN/RPN supervised care
• Convalescence and respite
• Veteran’s care
• Physiotherapy & occupational therapy
• Nutritional planning; meal preparation
• Chronic disease care: Cancer,
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc.
• Direct CCAC referrals
• Hospital and retirement home care
• Live In/Out 3-24 hours; or 24/7 care

PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR
And they wonder why it takes me so long to
make my way from my Preschool office in the
Coach House to the Mooredale Administrative
office in the Main House…
I
suppose it really should only take 2 or 3 minutes… however the
route takes me past each Preschool classroom and activity area,
including the playground and on each journey, at least 3 or 4
per day, I just can’t help but make slight detours here and there,
as there is always something exciting and engaging that draws
me in. This morning I stopped to watch our Chickadee nursery
children enjoying a music class with Mischi, each child dancing with
autumn leaves in hand to light hearted music. Around the corner
in the Kindergarten class, the children were donning their ‘pinnies’
in readiness for their walk to the local fire hall to deliver a wagon
overflowing with items from their food drive. Down the stairs a
short detour to the right and the children in the Chipmunk room
are engaged in ‘circle’ activities, a quick stop in the kitchen to see
what’s for lunch and then off through the playground, where the
Toddlers are enjoying bubbles, sand play, trikes and song. Into the
Main House and I have a brief visit in the Main House nursery class,
where the children are in the midst of their French class avec Mlle
Juliana. Finally, I make my way up the stairs to the office
Summer Fun 2016 is just around the corner!? Registration
for our Super Summer Camp for Preschoolers begins in just a few
weeks. Visit our website for all the sun warming details.
… and that’s why it takes me so long to
make my way to the Main House Administrative Office.
And it’s not too late to join us for the current school year!
We’ve opened a few additional spaces in our morning Nursery and
Kindergarten classes as well as our Afternoon Toddler program.
Please contact the Preschool office for more information.
Preschool Registration for September 2016 begins
Wednesday January 20, for new families. Details, forms and
schedules will be available on our website www.mooredale.com,
as well as at the Mooredale Main House Office within the next
few days. We invite you to join us for a tour and see our current
program in action. Please contact the preschool office to arrange

What’s in a Community Centre?
Creative Movement: Creative Movement uses structure and free
movement to help each child discover his or her body’s capabilities.
With Interplay School of Dance instructor Miss Natalia, children
will discover the magical world of dance, how their bodies react to
music and how much fun they can have trying to master it.
Learn to Ski: Our popular Learn to Ski program for 4 – 12 year
olds will return this winter, in partnership with Earl Bales Ski &
Snowboard Centre. The classes will run Wednesday and Thursday
evenings with bussing provided from Mooredale and Whitney
Public School. An optional supper from Summerhill Market will once
again be provided.
Learn to Skate: Starting November 30* at Rosedale Park,
the popular Learn to Skate program is back on Mondays and
Wednesdays after school. Performance Skating Schools is back this
winter to provide lessons in a fun, safe, learning atmosphere for
beginners, intermediates and adults. *weather permitting.
Music Lessons: Music lessons for children, youth and adults are
happening at Mooredale House every Monday – Thursday. Join us
for violin (Monday), piano (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), and
guitar (Wednesday) this winter. Adults also welcome! Check with
our office staff to find out available lesson times.
12:30 Preschool programs: Lunch time has become our most
popular program time of the day here at Mooredale. There are
several different options to choose from during the week including
Creative Movement, Lego Engineering, Monkeynastix, Intro to
Tennis, Little Traveler’s Club, and French Lessons.
See you around the House!
B
uilding a strong sense of community… Common setting to
congregate… Open to all who live in the area… Encountering
others with common interests…
These are all characteristics we hope to build into all our
Mooredale programs as we strive to reach our mission of being a
focal point in the community. Participating in Mooredale programs
is just as much about the ‘Who’ as the ‘What’!
Got an Idea?
Our best and longest running programs usually start from a
suggestion from a Mooredale member. Do you have an idea for a
program that the community would benefit from or that you would
like to see for your family? Be sure to let us know! Email us today at
[email protected] or call 416-922-3714 x 105

Pool Notes
James McNee –
Chair, Swimming Pool Club
On behalf of the SWIMMING POOL CLUB EXECUTIVE
Even In The Off Season
Our Pool Doesn’t Sleep!
I
bet, like me, you have one of those pieces
where we’ve just added another coat of
paint over an old coat over an even older
and so on and so on. Finally you strip the
thing down to the base and can’t believe how
wonderful it looks. In September they “diamond ground” all those
coats of paint off our pool (all the way back to the 1970s!) and we’ll
start 2016 with a brand new finish!
Speaking of the off season… If you know anyone interested
in joining the Pool, now is the perfect time for them to get on the
waiting list. In past years we might have had a long wait but right
now only a few names are on the list – I can (almost) guarantee
that anyone on the wait list today can be swimming next Spring.
There is no cost and no obligation. Anyone interested should call
416-922-3714 x 100.
And one last bit of news… On October 21 we held our Pool
Club Annual Meeting and members elected a Pool Club Executive
team of returning and new volunteers to offer advice and support
to our staff colleagues. I am thrilled to report Kedrin Case is the
new Chair of the committee. In the next months Kedrin will keep
you posted on the 2016 staff team and all the improvements and
changes for next year. Thanks to the staff, volunteers and pool
members who provided me such support as Pool Chair.
All the best for the holidays. And don’t let the winter get you
down. Before you think of it we’ll be getting ready for swimming
in 2015. Now... remember to put your pool membership cards in a
safe place... you’ll be needing them in just a few months!

2015 Outdoor Soccer Recap
With sunny skies and a gentle fall breeze, Mooredale Soccer Club
players participated in the final day of soccer for the 2015 season –
Cup Day! It marked the end to yet another successful outdoor soccer
season, with both Riverdale Park and Rosedale Park playing host to
some excellent games. Our U4 to U10 divisions enjoyed a final day
of games at Rosedale Park, and were treated to some tasty snacks
provided by our returning division sponsors Forest Hill Orthodontics
and Tim Hortons. Riverdale Park hosted the final games for the
U12 and U14 divisions, and crowned champions in each after tough
matches in the championship games. Congratulations to all the
winners in the U12, U14, and U17 divisions!
Cup Day Results
U12 Boys: Dortmund defeated Manchester City 3-0
U12 Girls: Barcelona defeated Chelsea 1-0
U14 Co-ed: Dortmund defeated Real Madrid 1-0
U17 Co-ed: Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 2-1
A big thank you goes out to all our volunteers this year – the
coaches, managers, and snack schedule managers too! Your help
over the course of the season helped make 2015 another great year
for recreational soccer here at Mooredale.
SOCTOBERFEST
On October 4 we held our third annual Soctoberfest Soccer
Tournament. This year’s tournament hosted 11 teams, and crowned
champions in each of our divisions (Does – our all female division;
Pros - more serious folks; and Joes – more fun, and a little less
serious). We’d like to thank our staff, participants, and sponsors
– Amsterdam Brewery, Junction Craft Brewery, Civello, Toronto
FC/ MLSE, and GP8 – for making the tournament a great success.
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to all who
came out to the tournament and the post-tournament gathering as
well! Hope to see you all next year!
2015 Soctoberfest Winners:
Pros Division – International Pandas
Joe’s – Mooredale

Outdoor Ice Hockey
Winter is fast approaching, and that means it is almost time for
our outdoor hockey season to begin. Our league is perfect for
those looking to play hockey that are not into the super serious
competition. We have Technical Coaches come in on a monthly
basis to work with the players and coaches and feel this adds to the
practices the coaches run on a weekly basis.
Weather permitting, the season runs from early December
to the middle of February at Rosedale Park’s outdoor hockey
rink. Cup Finals are run inside a local Ice Rink the last weekend of

Volunteer Appreciation & Awards
On October 3 we held our Volunteer Appreciation event to
recognize the contributions of our hard-working volunteers. This
year, we presented Nick Thadaney with the Volunteer Appreciation
Award, recognizing him for coaching 10+ teams in the various
sports offered here at Mooredale. In attendance at our Volunteer
Appreciation event was Ron Smale, the president of the Ontario
Soccer Association, who awarded Mooredale Soccer Club with the
OSA’s Club Excellence Silver Award. Mooredale SC was also awarded
this season with a donation from the Canadian Soccer Association’s
Mondelez Pride and Joy Campaign. We’re honoured to have
received these awards, and look forward to continuing our efforts
to provide quality soccer programs for our members!
I
t was a gorgeous sunny day on Sunday,
September 20 for the 35th Annual Terry Fox Run
for Cancer Research in Rosedale – Moorepark.
Over 320 participants and volunteers ran, walked,
rolled and biked on a lovely Sunday afternoon.
This year we were joined by cancer survivors and
cancer researchers who wore red and purple
t-shirts. Many people were running in support of
someone they know who is fighting cancer, and
others in memory of a loved one.
A number of volunteers were exceptional in their
fund-raising efforts, contacting many people and
raising significant contributions.
In the courageous spirit of Terry Fox himself, the
man who ran a marathon every day on his historic
fundraising run 35-years ago, each and every
participant and volunteer made a difference.
It looks as though our funds raised have surpassed
those of 2014 by at least 10%. In Ontario alone we
are looking at having raised over $12 million dollars
this year. Great effort everyone and see you next
year!

A
Calmus Ensemble – European Vocal Quintet
Sunday, December 13: Concert Series 3:15pm,
Music & Truffles 1:15 – 2:15pm, Walter Hall, UofT
perfect blend of sound, precision, lightness and wit, the
Calmus Ensemble has forged a refined sound, which few
a cappella groups achieve. Its five Leipzig musicians – Anja
Pöche, soprano; Sebastian Krause, countertenor; Tobias
Pöche, tenor; Ludwig Böhme, baritone; and Manuel Helmeke,
bass – have won a string of international prizes and competitions,
including the ECHO Klassik and Supersonic Award. In 2010, they
made their Carnegie Hall debut. Naturally at home in the vocal
music of the Renaissance, Baroque and Romantic periods, they also
explore modern repertoire. They are prolific artists having recorded
16 CD’s in various genres.
“Calmus Ensemble is stunning in its vocal variety, mastery.
The group held the audience… spellbound with its artistry…
in matters of pitch, diction and musical shaping, I’ve never heard
finer ensemble singing.” – The Washington Post
Calmus Ensemble
Hard on the heels of its highly successful 2014 recording, Madrigals
of Madness – which made the New York Times’ Top 10 CD list –
Calmus performs selections from its newest CD, Christmas Carols
of the World. The selections will shine a spotlight on timeless
and classical creations from the Renaissance to the present day.
Some are sacred, some are secular, and some even humorous and
entertaining – all woven in the theme of a popular holiday tradition.
A sampler from the 18 works they will perform include:

com or by phone, and at the door. All seats are general admission
Considered by many to be supreme, England’s London Haydn
Quartet was born out of a passion for the composer. Formed in
2001, they strive to emulate pure 19th Century sound through their
use of gut strings and classical bows. Adding to their uniqueness,
they collaborate regularly with clarinetist Eric Hoeprich with whom
they recorded the Brahms and Mozart quintets on the Glossa
label. As a quintet, they have performed at the Concertgebouw,
the Library of Congress, Yale University as well as appearances in
Switzerland, France, Germany and Czech Republic.
American Eric Hoeprich has specialized in performing on
historical clarinets. He has performed as a soloist with early music
conductors such as Sir Roger Norrington and Christopher Hogwood.
“The musicians imbued both works with myriad details
of shading and contrast, and beautifully calibrated phrasing.”
– New York Times
London Haydn Quartet with Eric Hoeprich
“Gut strings sometimes mean sour intonation, but not
with this superb British group…they explore…repertoire with
a light touch and kaleidoscopic colours…crammed
with subtle pleasures.” – CD Review, The Times
