Ice Cream
ONLINE: Eat Your Ice Cream: A Compassionate and Humorous Roadmap to Wellbeing with Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel

*Tuesday, June 9, 11 a.m. to Noon*

Everyone wants to live a full and healthy life, and every day brings a tidal wave of attention-grabbing misinformation, faddish ideas from “wellness” influencers and bizarre advice from news outlets. The “Wellness Industrial Complex” prescribes conflicting and complicated regimens while promising us more time to enjoy in the future, though it sure is demanding a lot of time right now. But what actually matters most to our health and longevity?

 

Join us for an empowering conversation with health expert Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel as he shares his vision for living well and aging with purpose. In "Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life" [ https://sunnyvale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S173C2210596 ], he explores how to embrace health, happiness, and longevity without falling for quick fixes or unrealistic promises.

IN PERSON: Classic Film Club: Rope (1948)

*Thursday, June 11, 1 to 3 p.m.*

Rediscover time-honored treasures and underappreciated productions from across cinematic history as part of our Classic Film Club!

 

This month's screening is Alfred Hitchcock's provocative psychological thriller, "Rope" (1948)! Two brilliant, intellectually arrogant young men murder their former prep school classmate in their Manhattan penthouse apartment—then throw a dinner party over the chest containing his body. Starring Jimmy Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger with a script by screenwriter Arthur Laurents, the film has cemented itself as a controversial yet undeniably influential classic for its blend of Hitchcockian tension, real-time storytelling and queer coded subtext.

Storm Drain
Sunnyvale Environmental Services: Adopt-a-Storm Drain!

The City of Sunnyvale's Environmental Services Department is excited to introduce new a community initiative to help keep local waterways clean and streets flood-free: the Adopt-a-Storm Drain Program [ https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/homes-streets-and-property/streets-and-trees/storm-drains/adopt-a-storm-drain ].

 

Sunnyvale's stormwater system plays a critical role in managing runoff from streets and neighborhoods. Unlike wastewater, stormwater in Sunnyvale is not treated or filtered before reaching local waterways. Debris-clogged storm drains can cause street flooding and introduce pollutants into the Bay. By keeping storm drains clear of debris, participants can make a direct impact on the community by preventing flooding and protecting local creeks and the Bay.

 

As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to name their adopted drain and will be provided access to City-supplied tools and safety equipment, including a litter tool, rake, dustpan, bucket, gloves and a safety vest.
