The Philanthropy Committee took several Slivkans last Sunday to volunteer at the ACC Chicago. There we walked dogs who were in need of some fresh air as they anxiously waited to be adopted. They're all so friendly and cute!

Residents enjoyed munchies referred to as Happy Bears.  Apples were sliced, Nutella and peanut butter were spread on the sides of the apple and Teddy Grahams were lined up on the spread.  A semi-nutritious snack that made everyone smile!

Prof. Kalogera from the department of Physics and Astronomy came to Slivka to tell us a little bit about the subject of her research: black holes. She described, using brief movies, how black holes form, and how we can tell that they exist. The subject of black holes and Prof. Kalogera's lucid explanations made for a great fireside: many Slivkans even stayed for an extra thirty minutes after the fireside was over to ask questions.

Slivkans gathered outside of Slivka to enjoy some classic s'mores over a nice warm fire.  There were mishaps along the way, including fallen marshmallows in the fire and flaming sticks, but overall everyone enjoyed taking a break from studying to eat some munchies.
