What does Christmas mean to you?

"Going to Church and visiting with family

and friends!"

~Resident, June Jaroszynski

"Decorating the tree and making Christmas cookies!"

~Resident, Ellie Buller

Where has 2019 gone? I can't believe we will be entering into 2020

soon and hopefully with you all trying some new and exciting

Watermark University Classes! Please join us on Friday, December

27 from 1:00-3:00pm for our Watermark University Registration Day.

We will have our Spring Catalog available for you to see all the

great classes we will be offering for the next couple of months. We

will also be having a cooking demonstration with our Chef Ray,

followed by a New Year's Celebration with music by Mike and Tom,

along with some refreshments.

If you are interested in teaching a class next semester,

please call Gina at 815/477-6582.

The Gardens

The Fountains Team has a

great plan for helping

everyone THRIVE! as the

Christmas season

approaches. Please make

plans to attend our Holiday

Open House on Saturday,

December 14th, from 1:00

until 3:00pm. Our Residents

and family members will be able to THRIVE! while taking photos

with Santa and Mrs. Claus, between 1:00 and 2:00pm, in the

lounge. The festivities will continue with refreshments and music

by Larry Breidenbach, from 2:00 until 3:00pm, in the main dining

room. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Open House, to

enjoy quality time together and remind ourselves to appreciate the

'reason for the season!' Thank you for helping us all to THRIVE!

Merry Christmas,

Amy Dunn, Executive Director

MerryChristmas! During the holiday season, we all get so

busy, we tend to forget about our

health. Try to take a few minutes each

day to relax. Close your eyes, take a few

deep breaths, and just let it go. Taking

care of your emotional health is equally

important as taking care of your physical

health! Also with the holiday, comes all

those great goodies and desserts. Just

remind yourself that studies have shown

(honestly!), it's okay to indulge in a treat

once in a while, just in moderation. In

fact, an apple pie has half the calories of

a pecan pie and turkey contains fewer

calories than ham. Some great things to

think about when planning your holiday

meal this year! If you want more

information, come join Nurse Lynn on

Wednesday, December 11 at 1pm, in the

lounge, for a presentation on, "Healthy

Eating during the Holiday Season."

Path to Well-Being

Watermark is always excited to see their Residents Thriving! in their

everyday lives, but they are also excited to see their employees Thriving! as

well. Here at the Fountains at Crystal Lake, we would like to announce Amy

Dunn as our new Executive Director! Amy has been with Watermark for

20 years, as the Program Director and is very excited to step up to the new

role as Executive Director. Amy is married to her loving husband, Bill for

22 years and they have 2 wonderful daughters, Ella and Abigail. She enjoys

baking, walking, and being active here in the community. Amy's door will

always be open, if you ever have any questions, concerns, or even

compliments. She looks forward to dedicating herself to all of the

residents, family members and employees! Welcome Amy and we can't

wait to see what you have planned for the future here at the Fountains!
