🚧 Community Town Hall: 16th St Bridge Closure 🚧

Join us:
🗓Thursday, 4/2
⏰️6:30 PM
📍Friendship Missionary Baptist Church to discuss the upcoming 16th Street Bridge closure.

We understand how important it is to repair the bridge, and our community also depends on it every day. Residents, business owners, and everyone who relies on this route are asking for a solution that keeps at least one lane of through traffic open during construction.

A full two-year shutdown could significantly impact quality of life, local businesses, and access across our community & beyond. Let’s come together to make our voices heard and advocate for a safer, more balanced approach.

🗣️ Your voice matters!

Spring 2026 Installment of the Forensic Science Lecture Series
Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at 5:30pm (Eastern)
“Sherlock Holmes and the Beginning of Modern Forensic Science” presented by David Zauner

Cost: $5 for NonMembers; FREE for Current IMHM Members*
Registration link will be posted in the comments.

David Zauner will give an account of the state of forensics in the time period of the Holmes stories and explores parallels between the methods of the Great Detective and those actually used at the time, comparing some of Holmes' cases from the stories to real cases at the turn of the 20th century and mentioning some of the early pioneers in different fields of forensic science. He will also examine how the background of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Holmes stories, gave him a unique ability to create a detective who used science and reason to solve cases. Besides creating a literary icon, Sir Arthur used his knowledge to undertake his own investigations, seeking to correct miscarriages of justice.
The Forensic Science Lecture Series is a long-time partnership between the Indiana Medical History Museum and the University of Indianapolis Human Identification Lab.

Registration is required for virtual and in-person attendance. *Member tickets are only available for current active IMHM members. Member status will be confirmed.

March is National Nutrition Month!

Each March, we join the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in celebrating National Nutrition Month, a nationwide campaign that encourages everyone to make informed food choices and build healthy eating and physical activity habits.

Did you know?
National Nutrition Month began in 1973 as a week‑long event and grew into a full month by 1980 as interest in nutrition and wellness expanded.

This year’s theme—Discover the Power of Nutrition—highlights how nourishing foods and healthy habits help individuals and entire communities thrive. ✨

🍎 Join us at Dip-In as we celebrate National Nutrition Month with four classes across Marion County!
We invite you to learn, connect, and discover simple ways to bring the power of good nutrition into your daily life.

We can’t wait to see you there!

There’s something powerful about generations coming together around one table, not for titles, not for recognition, but for the love of community.

This meeting was a reminder that real impact happens when we share responsibility, listen across experiences, and commit to doing the work side by side. Different ages. Different perspectives. One shared vision.

No spotlight needed, just people who care enough to show up and build together. ❤️

That’s how community grows.🌱
