HAPPY NEW YEAR!

BOCCE BALL

Throwing balls toward a target is the oldest game known to

mankind. As early as 5000 B.C. the Egyptians played a form of

Bocce with polished rocks. While Bocce today looks quite

different from its early predecessors, the unbroken thread of

Bocce’s lineage is the consistently common objective of trying

to come as close to a fixed target as possible. We have 2

Bocce courts located in the court yard outside Building 6.

To reserve a

court there is Bocce

Ball Book with a sign up

sheet at the desk in the

Lobby. The book also

has a list of players.

Contact Abbie or

Joanne in Community

Life if you have

questions.

The New Year offers

opportunities to be engaged

socially, physically and share

your talents and interests with

friends and neighbors in

our community. We have so

many offerings to choose from.

Here is a sampling of selections

available: Chair Yoga, Numerous

Exercise Classes, Great

Decisions, a nationally

recognized discussion group,

and Watermark University

offerings, which encourage

lifelong learning and provide us

chances for full self expression. The New Year is the best time to

try something new and different!

LIVING WELL

In the United States, flu viruses are most

common during fall and winter months.

The Center for Disease Control

recommends three steps to protect

yourself from the flu. First, make the

time to get a flu vaccine. Secondly, take

everyday actions to prevent the spread

of germs including proper hand washing

with soap and water, covering your

mouth and nose with a tissue when you

cough or sneeze, avoiding close contact

with others who may be sick, and

limiting your time around others when

you feel ill. Physicians also remind us

that we should avoid touching our face

because germs spread when we touch

our eyes, nose and mouth. Lastly, we

should be vigilant about disinfecting

objects and surfaces that may be

contaminated with germs.

Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore

throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches,

headache, chills and fatigue. Some

people may also have vomiting and

diarrhea. People may be infected with

the flu and have respiratory symptoms

without a fever.

Take preventive measures during your

day-to-day activities. Wash your hands

often, avoid touching your eyes, nose

and mouth, drink plenty of fluids and eat

healthy foods. All of these habits will

help to bolster your immune system and

make you less prone to the virus.

STAY WELL!

The foundation of Watermark University (WU) is to provide meaningful opportunities to learn, teach and grow,

resulting in a life of overall well-being. Research shows that learning and keeping our mind active and sharp

supports healthy aging.

At Watermark Retirement Communities we are committed to encouraging our residents and associates to lead

balanced lives, full of meaning and purpose, grounded in self-awareness and infused with curiosity, our

Watermark University courses help achieve this goal. By focusing on the Seven Dimensions of Well-being:

Physical, Social, Intellectual, Spiritual, Emotional, Environmental, and Vocational we offer the opportunity to

achieve a balanced life and we see the benefits across the country in every class, every day.
