Crystal Lake, IL 60012

With our Watermark University Summer

Semester coming to an end, we are

excited to show you what we have in store

for the Fall Semester. Please join us on Friday, August 31,

from 1:00-3:00pm, for our Fall Registration Day. We will have

our new catalogs to look through and sign up for some great

courses being offered. Chef Ray will be whipping up

something scrumptious during his Cooking Demo, followed

by live music with entertainer, Jennifer Hall.

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! Frozen treats

have been around for the last 500 years, unfortunately it was meant

for the wealthy at that time. Now, it is something everyone can

enjoy and we are excited to share some easy ways to enjoy it all

from the comfort of your home! Come join Sandi Buerger for her Ice

Cream Making 101 on August 7th at 2:00pm or Katie has her

Yonana’s class on August 23rd at 2:00pm. They will be showing the

different styles of enjoying Ice Cream and how fun and easy it is.

If you would like a catalog/information or would like to teach a class,

please call Gina at 815-477-6582.

The Gardens

You may have noticed our

Dipsacus Fullonum is thriving.

Dipsacus Fullonum, also

known as “Teasel”, is a four-

to-six feet high plant and is

near omnipresent around our

property. As charming as the

teasel is, it is considered an

invasive species. Teasel seeds

were inadvertently brought from Europe during the 1700's and the

plant has proliferated throughout the United States, especially the

mid-west, since that time. In order to encourage the growth of

native Illinois grasses and flowers, we will be mowing large areas

around our property during the coming weeks, to begin eradicating

the invasive crop. Do you know one of the most exciting practices

for helping a prairie to thrive? Setting a prairie fire!! Perhaps

we’ll call the Crystal Lake Fire Department!

Happy THRIVING!

Mike Gamache, Executive Director

NativePlants! Most people have experienced back pain

sometime in their lives. The causes of

back pain are numerous; some are self-

inflicted due to a lifetime of bad habits.

Other back pain causes include

accidents and muscle strains. Although

the causes may be different, most often

they share the same symptoms. Our

spines are like the rest of our body, it's

meant to move. Regular exercise can

keep you and your back more flexible.

We offer a variety of exercise classes

such as, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Strength

Training. We have also teamed up with

Active Therapeutics to put together a

great morning exercise program. So,

make sure to check the calendar with all

the listings/times. If you have more

questions about back pain, come see

Nurse Lynn's Presentation, on

Wednesday, August 8, at 1:00pm.

Path to Well-Being

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. The sun was shining, it

wasn't too hot and the staff at Blue Skies Flying Services made this day go

with so much ease. We had some experienced former pilots flying with us

today, Gus who flew commercially and Ed who was a pilot in the Army. We

also had Marty who is a master at being a passenger flying with her son,

Marc, who also fly's his own private plane. Marc also helped make this day

happen. A huge thank you, Marc! We also had Shelia and our very own

E.D. Mike, to join us to experience this one of a kind outing! The Residents

got to see a different side of the Fountains as they got an aerial view of the

grounds. It was so great to see our Residents Thrive! and be so excited to

see some of them do the one thing they loved, getting back in the air. As

for the other Residents, they will be able to cross this off their bucket list!
