Franciscan Health Heart Seminar
2025-10-23 17:30 - 19:30 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Plainfield-Guilford Township Library, 1120 Stafford Rd., Plainfield, Indiana, 46168
PLAINFIELD, Ind. – Franciscan Health is hosting a pair of free seminars this month, first in Plainfield Oct. 23 and then in Greenwood Oct. 28, aimed at helping patients and their caregivers learn more about atrial fibrillation, commonly known as AFib.

The heart is the center of the body’s electrical activity and when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions, it may signal AFib. Arrhythmias like AFib can cause lightheadedness or the feeling of butterflies in the chest and can increase the risk of stroke.

Attendees will learn about common signs and symptoms of AFib that should not be ignored, as well as understanding personal risk factors and discovering the latest treatment options to stay healthy.

In addition, those in attendance will learn how lifestyle changes and treatment options can reduce complications.

The first AFib seminar is Thursday, Oct. 23 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Guilford Township Library in Plainfield, led by cardiologist and expert electrophysiologist, Dr. Ahmed Shim.

Attendees at the Plainfield seminar will receive a complimentary light meal and free gift.

The Greenwood seminar is Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Greenwood Fieldhouse and led by Dr. Sharath Vipparthy, also a cardiologist and expert electrophysiologist.

Attendees at the Greenwood seminar will receive a complimentary light meal, free gift and interactive experiences, including a golf simulator.

The Guilford Township Library is located at 1120 Stafford Road in Plainfield.

Register here for the Plainfield seminar.

The Greenwood Fieldhouse is located at 411 South Madison Avenue in Greenwood.

Avon Education Foundation 4th Annual “Supply It Forward”
2025-07-19 00:00 - 23:59 | Indiana
AVON, IN (June 25, 2025) – The Avon Education Foundation (AEF) is proud to announce the 4th annual Supply It Forward event, taking place on Saturday, July 19th at Avon Middle School North. Designed to support Avon students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, this year’s event has reached a new milestone—with a record 1,540 students registered to receive free backpacks and school supplies for the 2025–2026 academic year.

Each participating student will be paired with a volunteer “personal shopper” to select a backpack and hand-pick their supplies, making the experience both practical and empowering.

“This backpack event is about more than just school supplies—it’s about empowering every student to start the year with confidence,” said Jayda Sommers, event co-chair. “Together, we’re building a stronger, more supported community one backpack at a time.”

The initiative is made possible through the generosity of Avon residents who donate supplies and make financial contributions, along with the dedication of hundreds of volunteers who run the event. A large part of the success of Supply It Forward is the annual Avon Education Foundation’s sponsors. It’s a community-wide effort to ensure no student starts the school year at a disadvantage.

Families who have not yet registered for the event but are in need of assistance are encouraged to contact their child’s school directly for support.
