COVER STORY
Every Saturday at 2:00 pm, you can find a group of
residents gathering in the Art Room and the Card Room.
They meet to cut plastic shopping bags that are then
crocheted into mats that will be donated to the homeless.
If you would like to donate bags for our project bring your
clean, flattened bags to the Front Desk for Community Life.
If you would like to join in the fun, we would love to have
your help! If you do not know how to crochet, they can
teach you, or you can contribute by cutting and making the
plastic yarn out of the bags. Enjoy each other’s company
while doing a good deed!

FLU CLINIC
Influenza (flu) is a contagious disease that spreads around the
United States every year in the fall to late spring. Anyone can get
the flu, but it is more dangerous for people 65 years of age and
older. People with certain health conditions or a weakened
immune system, are at greatest risk of flu complications. The flu
can cause fever and chills, sore throat, muscle aches, cough,
headache, and runny or
stuffy nose. The CDC
recommends everyone
six months of age and
older get vaccinated
every flu season. Our
Flu Clinic will be
held Friday, 10/4 at 9:00
am to 1:00 pm in the
Lobby.
The Holiday Fund's annual
Jewelry and Christmas Sale is
Friday, October 18, 2019 from
9:00 am until 1:00 pm in the
Lobby. In 1987, to show
appreciation to hourly
associates, residents created
The Holiday Fund. Today, they
continue to raise funds so
that hourly associates can be
acknowledged with a monetary
gift during the holidays. The
volunteers work tirelessly
bringing monthly fund raising
events throughout the year
and in addition to accepting monetary donations. Be sure to shop
the sale for some unique gifts. Thank you for your generous
support!
LIVING WELL
An individual with a cold can infect
other people one day before symptoms
appear, and up to five days or so after
becoming sick. Cold viruses are
abundant in nasal and throat secretions.
These germs are transmitted via our
hands. When you have a cold and blow
your nose, touch your face, or wipe your
eyes, the virus transfers to your hands,
and then to whatever or whomever you
touch. If you contaminate a telephone,
the next person who uses it may catch
your cold. The most important
precaution to avoid spreading or
catching a cold, is to wash your hands
often and well. Hand sanitizers are a
good option when good old soap and
water are not available or you are not
near a sink.
Coughing and sneezing are other ways
the virus spreads. If you do not have a
tissue, try sneezing or coughing into
your arm or shoulder, thus avoiding
contaminating your hand.
If you think, you are getting sick, limit
your contacts. If you are around
someone who is sick, try to avoid hand-
to-hand contact and stay at least six
feet away—cold viruses cannot be
propelled much farther than that. Do not
share drinking glasses, utensils,
phones or towels. Taking these simple
intentional precautions will help keep
you from transmitting or catching a cold.
Be sure to get your flu shot on Friday,
10/4 and stay well!

supports healthy aging.
