Valentine’s Day Puppy Love Pet Adoption Event

Join us for an engaging discussion with Zachary Burt as we explore the evolution of the historic preservation movement and its profound impact on the character of Washington, D.C. Discover how organizations like the DC Preservation League—originally founded in 1971 as Don’t Tear It Down—emerged to protect the city’s most architecturally and culturally significant buildings. Zachary will guide us through how landmarks and historic districts are designated, share notable preservation success stories, and illuminate the ongoing efforts that safeguard the unique heritage of our nation’s capital.

Step into the world of someone living with dementia through this powerful 30-minute Virtual Dementia Tour® (VDT). This internationally recognized, research-based experience is designed for senior living professionals, caregivers, medical practitioners, and family members to gain a deeper understanding of the sensory and cognitive changes associated with memory loss. This immersive session, hosted by Morgan Dallas, Memory Care Director at The Fitzgerald, will guide participants through an experience that fosters empathy, strengthens communication, and deepens understanding of person-centered care. At The Fitzgerald, the VDT is a vital part of our associate training and reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in memory care.
