My dad talked to @wisconsinlife about two of his writings from his book, “A Piece of Me,” available on Amazon!

We’re living in a time when things feel so polarized... I’m right, you’re wrong.

But writer and cardiologist Dr. Arif Ahmad wants to remind people there’s so much good in the world and that we have to take care of one another. | @wisconsinlife https://t.co/iBbwOWUuiR

A cake from a coworker to mark the end of Ramadan.
A handmade face mask from a neighbor early in the pandemic.

These are just a couple of the kind gestures for the Good Samaritans Dr. Arif Ahmad's life.

Tons of people are in book clubs these days. But for some, they're too busy to join one. That's why one librarian in Neenah created Short Story Night, to help even the busiest people continue to be lifelong readers. | @wisconsinlife https://t.co/fS1ly0Dafv

[Wisconsin Life @wisconsinlife]

Ever thought, "I wish I had time to join a book club!"?
But between your job, family, chores, LIFE ... you just can't find the time to read.
A librarian in Neenah may have the solution: Short Story Night.
It's a "book club" for the busiest of readers.

"As the teachers warm up their halal lunch, they remind the children to say Bismillah, a blessing before eating. Most of these children are too young to fast for Ramadan or to remember what their families went through when they left their home countries."

Marquette University's men's basketball team had a huge season this year under coach Shaka Smart.
But decades before him was coach Al McGuire, who carried the team to a national championship in 1977.
