Dr. Robert Cooley “In Search of Ancient Israel: An Archaeological Pursuit”

Thursday, July 19, 2018

7:00 pm

Community Hall

Dr. Robert Cooley, Near Eastern Archaeologist and

Cypress resident will share his participation in the

scholarly search for the origins

of Ancient Israel. The Hebrew Bible

provides the basic framework for the

understanding of Israel's early history. Near

Eastern monuments have added limited

information, whereas, the excavations of

buried cities have added an abundance of

material evidence. This presentation will consider findings from et

Tell, Tell Dothan, and Khirbet Radanna. A display of lamps from the

time of Abraham to Muhammed will be available for viewing.

Join us in Community Hall on Thursday, July 19th at 7:00 pm for

“Lunch & Learn” with Kathy Weidner Monday, July 30, 2018

12:00 pm Garden Room

Topic: “GOT MILK?” An over view of the value of Dairy in the Diet

Join us for a discussion of the value of dairy in the diet. Eating dairy

products (milk, cheese and yogurt) helps to close the gap on nutrients of

public concern: calcium, potassium, and vitamin D. Consuming adequate

dairy is also associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type two

diabetes, increased bone health and lower blood pressure. Nutrition experts disagree,

and we will review opinions on amounts and types of dairy to add to the diet, i.e. non

-fat versus full-fat dairy and milk versus yogurt. We will also touch on lactose

intolerance and osteoporosis. Please call Kathy Weidner, Cypress Dietitian to

reserve a place at the table at 704-714-5551.
