When Pamela Cressey was appointed as City Archeologist for Alexandria, Virginia, in 1977, she found the city that called itself “America’s most historic city” primarily focused on historic sites related to George Washington and Robert E. Lee, both of whom played important parts in the city’s history. The city was proud of its past, but what was missing in a city with a 30% African American population was information about its African American history.
To support counties, cities, towns, villages, and rural areas in those efforts, AARP has released a free resource guide, "The American Rescue Plan Act and Older Adults: Opportunities and Resources for Local Leaders."
September is National Preparedness Month. With wildfires burning throughout Washington this is a great opportunity to review your preparedness plans. Wildfires can change quickly prompting neighborhood evacuations. It’s important that you are prepared when evacuation orders are in place. This means make a plan, prepare your pets, and create a personal support network. Being aware of scammers following a disaster also protects you financially.
If you’re like me, it’s fun to daydream about retiring — to think about traveling the world, going to the beach instead of the office, and finally writing a screenplay or book.
The Maryland Quality Reporting website is a convenient, trusted source of information on the quality and performance of long-term care facilities (e.g., nursing homes, hospices, home health agencies, assisted living facilities, and adult medical daycares), hospitals, and outpatient surgery centers in Maryland.
