SUMMARY:Health Hub: The Protein That Could Rewind the Mind
DESCRIPTION:Members & Guests: free.\nLocation: Via Zoom \nOnline registration for this event is now closed. to register call 773-248-8700 or email info@thevillagechicago.org. \nGroundbreaking studies with mice found that elevated levels of FTL1 were linked to memory loss\, weakened brain connections\, and sluggish cellular activity. Remarkably\, when researchers blocked the protein\, the animals regained sharp memory and youthful brain function. This discovery positions FTL1 as a potential “master switch” for brain aging\, opening the door to therapies that may not just slow cognitive decline\, but actually reverse it. Join us as we explore the science\, the promise\, and the future implications of targeting FTL1 in the fight against neurodegeneration

SUMMARY:Men's Group
DESCRIPTION:Join the Men’s Group for their monthly meeting on October 8th. \nAll are welcome! This event is accessible. \nThe October meeting will be on Plastics.\n\nGuest speaker Jordan Parker\, friend of Village member Stefanie Clark will share her thoughts on plastic repurposing and her activities in support of the Chicago plastic bag tax. \nThe fossil fuel industry recognizes that the use of vehicles using internal combustion engines will decline over the years and is looking to plastics as a way of continuing the use of fossil fuels. It is expending huge sums of money on building new ethane crackers and other equipment that will generate plastics. And a similarly large amount of money on lobbying to sell governments around the world on allowing it to continue making plastics. \n.

SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests–free \nAvailable to rent for $5.99 on Amazon \n\nEvery Saturday afternoon\, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth organic discussion of films new and old. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after! \n\nThis week’s movie is: The Life of Chuck: 2025\, 1hr 50min\, R.T. 80%\n\nFrom the Stephen King short story of the same name\, the film tells the story of Chuck’s life in three parts: the very end; one day in the middle; and a stint from his teenage years. His life\, like most of ours\, is simple and extraordinary. A line from Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself–“I contain multitudes” (stanza 51)–is repeated several times. Film critics’ most used word describing the film is “magical.” Do you agree? Don’t be afraid to watch it again when you’re done.
