Today we honor our heroes.

"The poppy as a symbol of war casualties started with a poem. In the spring of 1915, a Canadian artillery unit brigade surgeon named Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae saw bright-red poppies blooming on the war-torn fields where so many soldiers had lost their lives. The sight moved him to write “In Flanders Fields."

Every May, we celebrate Older Americans Month - led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL).

This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” focuses on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. It encourages older adults to take an active role in their health — advocating for themselves, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support independence.

We celebrate our scholars and partners! Thank you AgeOptions and Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation.
