Program Description

Event Details

We want the Library to be your happy place.  All older adults (55+) are invited to join in for some special community time each week.  We’ll talk and share interests, enjoy guest speakers, and keep ourselves active, engaged, and well-informed.

This week, we will hear from Ravi Parakkat.

This event is co-sponsored by Arbor West Neighbors.

The Takeout 25 Effect is an inspiring account of a community-driven initiative, with lasting impact. Formed in Chicago’s western suburbs during the global pandemic, Takeout 25 aimed to save local restaurants while maintaining public health. It demonstrates the power of community-centric movements by illustrating the journey of Takeout 25 through compelling personal narratives, expert insights, and actionable strategies. This book is not just a recounting of events; it is a call to action for anyone motivated to make a difference in their community and beyond. In fact, it is a toolkit for social change.

Funds for this program were provided in part through an award from AgeOptions through funding from the American Rescue Plan Act.
