ommemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing 
of the Declaration of Independence, we as a proud 
community join with fellow Americans in celebrating 
this historical milestone in July. In fact, this summer issue of 
Inspirations is dedicated to this event! 
Look For This Patriotic Icon
As you peruse these pages, note the many events, activities, 
concerts and more tied to and honoring our country’s 250th, 
identified by the above symbol as part of the listing. From Fitness 
to Lectures to Performing Arts, you’ll see that staff and invited
