IT’S JUNE ! Summer is just around the corner.
June 21 is the first day of Summer. We are enjoying our time outside –planting, ice tea, and
outdoor fun. We are celebrating FATHER’S DAY FRIDAY, JUNE 14TH AND SUNDAY, JUNE 16TH.
JUNE IS ALZHEIMER'S & BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH- Get your purple on.
Consider getting a FREE BASELINE MEMORY SCREENING. Speak to our social work/care management staff, Marcy Cherek or Nora Kraidman to set up a screening. Get exercise, eat well, & DANCE! Did you know that synchronizing music & movement (dance) stimulates the brain’s “reward center”. It keeps us happy and helps our cognition– it’s a “2-fer”!
June is GAME MONTH at the Adult Day Care Centers of Las Vegas and Henderson. Mondays & Thursdays we will have games such as: Hoop
Dreams, Name That Tune, Charades, TV Trivia from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and a Lucky 7’s Card Tournament!
June is National Rose Month! We will be creating rose-themed art to celebrate these beautiful flowers.

GETTING SCENT-IMENTAL: HIBISCUS The subtle scent of the delicate hibiscus flower, used in
many fragrances, can take you away to a calming,
beautiful island. As a delicious tea it is filled with Vitamin
C and antioxidants. Tuck the beautiful flower behind your
right ear in Hawaii to sign you are single and looking for
love. The beautiful plumes attract bees and hummingbirds for their sweet nectar
and it is a gourmet dessert for the adorable 3-toed sloth.
OWN YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE Proceeds from the
purchase of artwork, calendars or cards help fund art
supplies and other special programs at the Adult Day Care
Centers of Las Vegas & Henderson.
GOOD MOOD FOODS Lentils ! A
nutritious food and a staple for millions of
people, lentils are a good source of energy, they
also contain a range of micronutrients, protein
and prebiotic carbohydrates. Several studies
have demonstrated that the consumption of
lentils is immensely connected to the reduction
in the incidence of diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cancers and
cardiovascular diseases. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5713359/
LENTIL TACOS! Submitted by Ellen J. 68 years young
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix
lentils and taco seasoning into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute.
Pour chicken broth into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until
lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover the skillet and cook until mixture is slightly thickened, 6 to
8 minutes. Mash lentils slightly; stir in salsa. Serve about 1/4 cup lentil mixture in each taco shell.
1 small clove garlic, minced
2/3 cup dried lentils, rinsed
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1—2/3 cups chicken broth or
vegetable broth
2/3 cups of salsa

her father would bring home from his
work in the garment industry. Dee Dee worked for 15
years in the aerospace industry for Hughes & Allied
Aerospace Engineering– She flew Cessna planes and
volunteered to test “experimental flying machines” !
Changing careers as she was raising a family in Arizona,
she returned to the arts and received her AA degree in
Art and was trained by the Phoenix Art Museum to
teach in the Maricopa County Schools. Later, after
moving to Las Vegas, she cared for her grandmother
who had complex medical issues. Dee Dee received
special care training at Sunrise Hospital in order to
keep her grandmother at home. As Dee Dee dropped
her children at school, she noticed the Adult Day
Program (Then at the Temple Beth Am ) and inquired
about volunteering– The rest is history...
