TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28 First responders dedicate their lives to saving lives. They are the people who run toward a crisis while the rest of the world flees. According to the Department of Homeland Security, 4.6 million career and volunteer first responders support the communities where they live. They are firefighters, police, emergency medical technicians (EMT), paramedics, and 911 operators. In an emergency, they're the first on the scene. These dedicated professionals answer the call when a crisis arises, often putting their own lives on the line. While it is not a public holiday, we invite residents, family, and friends to show appreciation for our first responders’ bravery and sacrifices by submitting cards of thanks, which will be hand-delivered to our local first responders. These thank you cards can be dropped off at one of the following locations from October 1-26: y The IL Concierge desk y The Administration Office
Curiosity University: Excavation of Pompeii Friday, October 17 1:00 p.m., Community Room
The towns, farms, and villas buried by the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Vesuvius provide a unique and valuable window into Roman and pre-Roman daily life from roughly the 3rd century BCE to their sudden end in 79 CE. Lost and largely forgotten thereafter, Pompeii and its neighbor, Herculaneum, only began to reveal their secrets after their initial excavations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Since that time, the wealth of evidence these sites provide — from artifacts to wall paintings, to architecture — has made them central to the study of ancient Rome.
