At only a few days old, Carl arrived at our sanctuary with the number 527 glued to the side of his little body. He was just a number to the dairy industry—another product to be sold. Had Carl not been too sick to walk out onto the auction floor, he would have been sold as veal.</p><p>Carl was so tiny and so sick that we weren’t sure if he’d survive—but against all the odds, Carl made it. He grew up to be a gigantic, sassy, and mischievous steer; his personality was truly larger than life. We suddenly lost Carl earlier this year to a hidden illness that he contracted before his rescue, and life will never be the same again without him here.</p><p><strong><u>About the 5K:</u></strong><br>Celebrating Carl’s birthday has always been one of Iowa Farm Sanctuary’s most cherished traditions. This year would have been Carl’s 5th birthday, but now we are honoring the legacy of his precious life instead.</p><p>Carl’s 5K will be unlike any race you’ve ever participated in before, as the course will wind around our beautiful sanctuary grounds—our rescued residents cheering you on as you go! After you cross the finish line, you can visit with your favorite rescued animal residents and enjoy complimentary vegan snacks—or bring a little vegan picnic to enjoy!</p><p>Both runners and walkers are welcome! We’re also offering a self-timed virtual option for those who cannot join us in person! Additionally, you can register as a herd if you want to! Well, as a team—but we’re cow people! </p><p>Registration (both in-person and virtual) includes an exclusive t-shirt, bib, and medal!</p><p>We hope you’ll join us in making Carl’s 5K the magnificent celebration of life that he deserves!</p><p>All proceeds from this fundraising event benefit the rescued residents of Iowa Farm Sanctuary!</p><p><strong>REGISTER HERE: </strong><a href="https://runsignup.com/Race/IA/Oxford/Carls5K?fbclid=IwAR1BnlPGKd5AwlkPwFvj3XydSmZHFk5ruX1YorgSUeBQkbv-EB6E6A4KLes" target="_blank"><strong>https://runsignup.com/Race/IA/Oxford/Carls5K</strong></a></p> 2021-09-08 13:30:00 -0500

Guest Author Laura Gellott: Helen Perry Curtis and the European Trip of a Lifetime
<p>The University of Iowa Libraries is proud to welcome author Laura Gellott to campus to discuss her recent book, <em>Helen Perry Curtis and the European Trip of a Lifetime</em>. Laura will be available following her talk for book signing during a light reception between 3:30 PM and 5:00 PM.</p><p>Can a book read in childhood be the inspiration for a lifetime of teaching and European travel? Helen Perry Curtis’s <em>Jean & Company, Unlimited</em>, the charming account of an American girl's first encounter with Europe, was precisely that for author and historian Laura Gellott. </p><p>Six years ago, Gellott located Curtis’s three granddaughters. That meeting resulted in the publication of <em>Helen Perry Curtis and the European Trip of a Lifetime</em>. Gellott's book traces Curtis’s life from its Nebraska roots to New Jersey and New York and across the European continent in the 1930s. She tells the story of the real-life travels behind <em>Jean & Company, Unlimited</em>, a book designated as a Junior Literary Guild Selection in January, 1938.<br><br>Laura Gellott is professor emeritus of history at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside (Kenosha), where she taught European history for 30 years. She is a frequent European traveler. She first read <em>Jean & Company, Unlimited </em>nearly 60 years ago. She has found it to be an ever-reliable guide. </p><p>This UI Libraries event is part of the Iowa City Book Festival, which is presented by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature.</p><p><strong>Free admission. All are welcome.</strong></p><p><em>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact Sara Pinkham in advance at 319-467-1805 or sara-pinkham@uiowa.edu.</em></p> 2021-08-30 15:30:00 -0500

York Rite Freemasonry: The Story Continues
<p>On Tuesday July 6, 2021, the Iowa Masonic Library will open a new exhibit that will feature the York Rite of Freemasonry. The exhibit, titled “York Rite Freemasonry: The Story Continues,” will show the history of the York Rite, one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry. Using regalia, photographs, and documents from the collection of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, visitors will be able to trace the history of the Royal Arch, The Cryptic Rite, and the Knights Templar from the late 18<sup>th</sup> century to the present day.</p><p> </p><p> The symbolism of the York Rite continues the story of the construction of Solomon’s Temple, the second Temple, the search for the “Lost” word, and the chivalric orders. The term “York” is used as a reference to York, England where the first guilds of stonemasons were organized, perhaps as early as 600 A.D. The exhibit will continue through the end of the year.</p><p><br></p><p> The Iowa Masonic Library and Museums are open for tours Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The library is open for research by appointment only. For more information, or to schedule a group tour, please contact Bill Kreuger at 319-365-1438 or <a href="mailto:bill.kreuger@gl-iowa.org">bill.kreuger@gl-iowa.org</a> .</p> 2021-09-28 16:00:00 -0500

Scuba Diving with Diventures
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="64"><tbody><tr height="20"><td height="20" width="64">SCUBA is an exciting recreational activity that you can enjoy anywhere in the world! Didn’t think you could learn SCUBA in Iowa? Think again! We’re partnering with Diventures, where through classwork and pool work you will learn the basics of open water diving including equipment preparation, pre-dive safety checks, assembly, and maintenance; underwater dive safety including ascents, buoyancy, and emergency preparation; and much more! By the end of this course, you’ll have completed four open water training dives and will be prepared for a lifetime certification from an internationally-recognized certifying agency, SCUBA Schools International (SSI). The course fee includes all materials such as digital resources, logbook, purchase of snorkel gear, use of Diventures’s pool and other necessary gear, and SSI certification (if you complete your outside dives with Diventures). Four additional open water training dives will be determined and scheduled during your class. The cost of these dives is included in the course fee, but you are responsible for travel, lodging, and lake entry fees as required. <ul><li>Registration is required prior to the class start date. If you have questions or would like to register, please visit <a href="http://www.kirkwood.edu/ce">www.kirkwood.edu/ce</a> or contact 319-398-1022.</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table> 2021-07-08 22:00:00 -0500
