SUMMARY:Lexington Living Landscapes' Open Garden Days
DESCRIPTION:More and more homeowners are embracing landscaping that emphasizes native plants and organic methods to create more wildlife- and people-friendly yards. Are you curious to see what other gardeners have done? Stop by any of multiple locations to see the many forms a pollinator garden can take\, or learn what alternatives to the traditional lawn fellow residents have tried. \nThe homeowners involved are generously opening their yards to visitors in the hopes that you’ll see something that will help or inspire you in your own landscaping\, and to learn from you as well. Four gardeners are participating on the 13th\, and an additional 11 on Saturday\, September 19. Each property will be open to visitors during a two- or three-hour window. Visit as many or as few as you wish. No ticket or pre-registration is needed. \nA detailed schedule and map of participating properties on each day is available at www.lexingtonlivinglandscapes.org.

SUMMARY:From Suffragette to War Worker: Stories of Women War Workers at Raytheon 1941-45
DESCRIPTION:This talk spans the 100-year fight for women’s rights\, beginning with the Suffragette movement and the passing of the 19th Amendment in 1920.  It moves on to the great stock market crash on Black Monday in 1929\, and the New Deal as a response to the Great Depression under President Franklin D. Roosevelt\, before focusing on America’s entry into World War II in 1941.  Suddenly\, war plants all over America needed female workers. Here in Massachusetts\, Raytheon aggressively advertised for women workers with recruitment posters\, newspapers\, and radio ads. Soon\, thousands of women were performing all types of electronic component production and assembly work\, from radar to radio tubes. At the insistence of Eleanor Roosevelt\, the ranks of the military and other professions\, including Civil Defense\, Red Cross\, etc. became open to women.  At war’s end on September 2\, 1945\, tens of thousands of women were immediately laid off.  Many women\, however\, found newly earned access to jobs once held by men. Women workers had now become the new consumer demographic. \nPresented by Chet Michalak\, Principal Technical Support Engineer\, Archivist and Historian\, Raytheon Company\, US Army veteran. \nSocial Hour 12:45-1:15 pm\, Program at 1:15 pm \nTo participate by Zoom\, get Zoom link at LexVets Website lexmavets.com.

SUMMARY:The Moth Ball
DESCRIPTION:Following last year’s popular and oversubscribed event\, join us once again for a repeat performance of a special kind of ball this September\, but don’t worry about bringing your dancing shoes! Once the sun goes down\, bugs will be the ones showing off their moves. During this nature walk hosted by both the Town of Lexington Conservation Division and CLC\, and with special guest Jace Porter of the Global Entomology Coalition\, we will get up close and personal with the nighttime residents of our local conservation areas. We will be using a large sheet illuminated with ultraviolet light to attract all manner of fascinating critters – moths\, beetles\, flies\, spiders\, stick insects\, or true bugs are just some of the things we might see (and if you’re curious what the differences are between “bugs” and “true bugs\,” then this might be the event for you!). We will also have on display a collection of previously captured and pinned specimens of all shapes\, sizes\, and species to supplement the living bugs we encounter. Come learn all about some of the near-limitless forms of arthropods with us\, and see what the buzz is all about. \nLong pants\, long sleeves\, closed-toed shoes\, and a headlamp (preferably with a red light setting) are strongly recommended. Hooded shirts/sweaters or mesh head nets are recommended. Magnifying glasses are encouraged. If you’re familiar with the Seek or iNaturalist apps\, we encourage using them too! \nAll ages are welcome\, but we recommend attendees be 12 or older. \nMeet Evan Paige\, Assistant Conservation Director\, at the Estabrook School parking lot (117 Grove Street\, Lexington\, MA 02420) before walking to Hennessey Field\, which is located to the east of the school at the end of Robinson Road. \nFriday September 18\, 7-11 PM\nRain date: Saturday September 19\, 7-11 PM\nRegistration required\, limited to 20 participants – see CLC web site for registration link (https://clclex.org/events/)\nLeaders:\nJace Porter\, jaceporter@entomologycoalition.org\nEvan Paige\, epaige@lexingtonma.gov\n

SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention for Communities
DESCRIPTION:Lexington Human Services is partnering with Riverside Trauma Center to present a presentation in honor of Suicide Prevention Month. \nWe are offering this as a hybrid program – Zoom link will be in registration receipt \nEveryone can help prevent suicide. Suicide prevention isn’t just about responding to those who are struggling or who we’re concerned about. It’s about empowering entire communities to know how to help someone at risk and providing them with the tools to recognize warning signs and take action. \nDeveloped by the creators of SOS Signs of Suicide\, a trusted evidence-based suicide prevention program\, Suicide Prevention for Communities is a facilitator-led training that uses video and interactive discussions to help adults build the confidence and skills to talk openly and effectively about suicide. \nThis adult training is designed to engage diverse audiences and is applicable across a range of personal and professional roles. The content emphasizes that anyone can play a role in supporting someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. It also highlights the effectiveness of restricting access to lethal means and provides information on local and national mental health resources. \nKey Learnings:\n• A general understanding of suicide and why safe language is important\n• How to recognize warning signs and risk factors for suicide\n• How to use the ACT (Acknowledge\, Care\, Tell) framework when someone is struggling with thoughts of suicide\n• Ways to keep a person safe while connecting them to qualified resources
