Inside the Suburban Hospital Emergency Dept: Emergency Preparedness
At one time or another, most of us have been to an Emergency Room as a patient or as a care partner accompanying a patient. A visit to the Emergency Room does not have to be stressful or frightening!! With the right information, you can reduce your anxiety and have a positive and ultimately productive experience. Join Suburban Hospital clinicians, including a physician and a nurse, for a comprehensive presentation on how to prepare for an Emergency Room visit and what to expect once you arrive.
The event time includes a robust Question and Answer period after the main presentation, so come prepared with questions you would like answered by the Emergency Room team.

Reflections: Viewing & Discussing Art (via Zoom)
Have you ever walked through an art museum and wondered what the artist was thinking or trying to express with their art piece? But there wasn’t anyone to ask, so you just kept walking and looking and wondering?
In this series, we want to stop and reflect on each piece, then share what we see, what we like or don’t like, what we question… and then learn the story behind each piece to help us put the works of art and artists into historical and cultural perspective. Our personal responses to each work of art may vary, but all reactions and ideas will be heard and valued.
No art or art history background is required - just your willingness to view and share with others.

World Dining Adventures — La Mexicana Bar & Grill
World Dining at La Mexicana Bar & Grill
Join us for an excursion into a casual neighborhood bar setting in an area that can be easily overlooked or disregarded. September’s World Dining Adventure is taking us for a little dip into Mexico where the family owners are the chefs so that the food is made fresh and tastes like home cooking.
During the week, the bar is very quiet and has a leisurely sense to it. There is both seating at individual tables on a raised platform as well tall tables on the main floor for a more happy-hour-like feel. And although it also has a long bar with many seats, it is very quiet (no bar televisions on) during the work week.
That said, the bar does host events on the weekends (Friday and Saturday evenings), highlighting local music, stand-up comedy and magic shows as well as a twice-a-month Sunday trivia night during the summer (to fund local charities). These events incur different entrance prices.
But if your curiosity is peaked, come join us for lunch at La Mexicana Bar and Grill. It is located off Shady Grove Road in a row of small shops and restaurants (e.g., Milano’s pizza and Kitchen and Bath store). The parking lot serves both these small shops as well as Checker’s fast food.

Introduction to Basic American Sign Language — Davis Library (8 sessions)
NBV is excited to offer the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of American Sign Language (ASL). Learning ASL offers numerous benefits, from improved cognitive function and communication skills to increased cultural awareness and career opportunities. It's a valuable skill for connecting with the Deaf community, strengthening family bonds, and broadening one's perspective.
The instructor, Meredith Seed, has been teaching ASL for 20 years. A practicing artist, she has a BA degree in American Sign Language and Music Education.
Note that the class will meet on Saturday afternoons for eight (8) weeks, starting September 5 and going until October 31st, but with a break on September 12th for Rosh Hashana. This ASL class is designed for seniors.
This "Introduction to Basic American Sign Language" class will provide senior students with the ABCs of sign language with basic numbers and words plus a song or two, e.g., "Bingo" and "Amazing Grace." By the end of the class, students will be able to spell out simple words in ASL as well as present words in simple sentence form.
The class will also incorporate ASL games and group activities to help cement learning. Copies of the basic primer will be given to each student to enable them to continue practicing at home.
Class size is limited to 20 students. To enable in-class learning and practice, students will be seated in a wide semi-circle to foster in-class learning and practice. Each class will review learnings from previous classes to enhance retention and application of the material.
Although classes will be weekly (except for September 12th), please note that the hour-long class start times might vary due to restrictions on the availability of the classroom space. All meeting times start at 2 pm except on Sept. 19th and 26th and Oct. 17th when the class will start at 12 pm.
A basic course fee of $40 per student will be charged to cover all course materials costs.

World Dining Adventures — Mahdang Korean Restaurant, 12300 Wilkins Ave
World Dining at Mahdang Korean Restaurant
August's World Dining Adventure will be at the Mahdang Korean Restaurant in North Bethesda. The restaurant is situated in an industrial section of town that is not on the usual shopping or lunch trip route that would have one driving or walking by.
However, being in an off-beat location means that the restaurant has been successful enough to draw in return customers to its cuisine and cafe-style look.
August's World Dining Adventure will be on Saturday, because the restaurant is not open on Monday and other standard NBV events are on the last Friday of the month.
So if you're curious about Korean food, this is a good restaurant to try with your NBV neighbors!
