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!

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.
