June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. To expand our understanding, we will be reading the much-acclaimed Still Alice.

Books available on Amazon.

During National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend, join people around the world honoring survivors of gun violence.
"Orange is the color that Hadiya Pendleton’s friends wore in her honor when she was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15—just one week after performing at President Obama’s 2nd inaugural parade in 2013. After her death, Hadiya’s friends and family asked us to stand up, speak out, and wear orange to raise awareness about gun violence. Since then, orange has been the defining color of the gun violence prevention movement."
