BYO Coffee, Tea, Breakfast Sandwich (or not!) and join us for an informal and friendly discussion
of One Second After by William R. Forstchen

One Second After
A 2009 post-apocalyptic thriller by William R. Forstchen about the aftermath of a devastating electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the United States, following a history professor and retired Army colonel in a small North Carolina town as he tries to help his community survive in a world plunged back into the Dark Ages. The novel begins when an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack suddenly disables all modern electrical devices across the United States. The book became a New York Times bestseller and gained attention for its realistic portrayal of a potential catastrophe, leading to discussions in Congress and the Pentagon.

We meet in the library. There may be construction so we may have to park more on the east or south side of the building and come in from the south. Pay attention to further instructions in the comments as this event gets closer.

Thirsty Thursdays with Northern Burbs Active Adults aren’t just happy hours — they’re where friendships begin.

They’re where new members feel welcomed, familiar faces reconnect, and real conversations replace scrolling on the couch.

Every gathering supports a local business, strengthens our community, and reminds us that life is meant to be shared.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get out, show up, and start living more fully — this is it. 💛
