Each event is a noncompetitive 3 to 5 mile walk that brings people together to make a difference for everyone who has been touched by breast cancer. The events raise money to fund innovative research, provide free information and support, and to help people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it's most treatable. “From the opening ceremony to the post-walk entertainment, a Making Strides event is a celebration of survivors and opportunity to remember loved-ones lost. It's a day that shouldn't be missed and won't be forgotten." Making Strides of Denver is about a 23 minute drive from Arrive 800 Penn. Happy Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Upcoming Holidays National Chocolate Day Will you be shopping at Hammond's Candies to celebrate National Chocolate Day this year? "Over the past 90 years, the "Mile High" city of Denver, Colorado, has seen a number of fine chocolate and candy manufacturers come and go, but one special company is still very much in business. “On his first day of high school, a young man named Carl Hammond returned home and announced that he didn’t need any more education. “Fine,” his mother replied, “but you’re not going to lie around the house. Go get a job.” And that’s just what Carl Hammond did; he got a job…as an apprentice in a candy factory." Hammond's Candies is about a 15 minute drive away from Arrive 800 Penn. Happy National Chocolate Day! National Cat Day Will you be visiting a local animal shelter or humane society to celebrate National Cat Day this year? Visit Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue ! "Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue (RMFR) was founded in 1982 with the mission to care for homeless, abandoned, abused, and neglected cat populations. Over the past twenty-five years the organization has grown into a limited-intake, free-roaming shelter with space for 125 cats. In 2016, RMFR provided medical expenses, housing, food, exams, in-house surgeries, and medical treatment for over 1448 animals. The rescue prioritizes being a safe-space for FIV+, FeLV+, and senior cat populations often underserved by municipal shelter programs. In 2016, RMFR had a euthanasia rate of .5% where 8 of the 1448 animals who came through the shelter were euthanized humanely and only out of medical necessity." Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue is about an 18 minute drive from Arrive 800 Penn. Happy National Cat Day! Movie Suggestions The Mountain Between Us Have you seen The Mountain Between Us yet?

Check out The Mountain Between Us this weekend! Buy your tickets today. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will be released on DVD beginning Tuesday, October 3. Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil' s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack's only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Cari na Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced. Are you planning to rent Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales ? Stop by a nearby Redbox ! Book Suggestions We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates “We were eight years in power” was the lament of Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return of white supremacist rule in the South. In this sweeping collection of new and selected essays, Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the tragic echoes of that history in our own time: the unprecedented election of a black president followed by a vicious backlash that fueled the election of the man Coates argues is America’s “first white president.” Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Illustrated Edition by J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay "For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort. Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts." Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst."

Joan Didion has always kept notebooks: of overheard dialogue, observations, interviews, drafts of essays and articles--and here is one such draft that traces a road trip she took with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, in June 1970, through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. She interviews prominent local figures, describes motels, diners, a deserted reptile farm, a visit with Walker Percy, a ladies' brunch at the Mississippi Broadcasters' Convention. She writes about the stifling heat, the almost vicious pace of life, the sulfurous light, and the preoccupation with race, class, and heritage she finds in the small towns they pass through. The Rules Do Not Apply Published this year, read The Rules Do Not Apply . Levy picks you up and hurls you through the story of how she built an unconventional life and then watched it fall apart with astonishing speed. Like much of her generation, she was raised to resist traditional rules—about work, about love, and about womanhood.
