Memorial DayMonday, May 29th

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is aday of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’sservice. In 1915, inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields,Moina Michael replied with her own poem:

We cherish too, the Poppy redThat grows on fields where valor led,It seems to signal to the skiesThat blood of heroes never dies.

She then conceived of an idea to wear red poppies on MemorialDay in honor of those who died. Adam Pockrass will help you make a poppy to wear forMemorial Day in his Craft Class on Sunday, the 21st. On Memorial Day, the 29th, there’s no better place totake part in a patriotic celebration honoring our fallen heroes.Join Entertainment Director Sandy Warren for her annualMemorial Day Tribute and Patriotic Sing Along at 11:00a.m. This anticipated program can’t help but bring out thebest in the American spirit. Wear your red, white and blueas we give thanks to those who gave their lives to preserveour freedom. Please join us for an early dinner served between 1:00and 4:30 p.m., which will allow our staff to spend someholiday time with their families.

Franco’s drive for excellence has resulted in “standingroom only” concerts throughout the United States, evenperforming for President Trump and his family on Valentine’sDay.

SPECIAL HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES

They say April showers bring May Flowersand so does Spring and birds on the wing startto sing again…all old clichés, but behind themis the beautiful theme of renewal and hope fora fresh approach to life.

One new way is to create and enjoy moresmiles and laughter in your life. In fact a recent

article by Barbara Mafcia reports a science behind laughter.She notes ,“Very simply put—when you have a thoughtcoupled with an emotion or feeling, your body automaticallyproduces chemicals and hormones.” The negative onesproduce stress, that is anger, fear, hostility, etc. The positiveones provide a safety valve that shuts off the flow of stresshormones and other compounds that cause this anger andhostility. Suffice it to say the old expression rings true,“Laughter is the best medicine.” Note this: Researches estimate that laughing a hundredtimes is equal to 10 minutes on a rowing machine or 15minutes on an exercise bike. Can you believe it? Laughingcan be a total body work out! And now it’s time to enjoy another pithy selection fromthe bard of Forest Trace.

WHO AM I? Have you ever wondered How it would be If you were he or she, Those other people you see? The question I ponder might I beRed hair or blonde, green eyes, or brown, taller or round?I might have been an athletic wizOr a giant in the computer biz.But that’s not how it really is.No need to consider being another,I am who I am and I thank my motherI am who I am ‘cause God has a planEveryone’s different, each woman each man.I’m happy with me, hope you’re happy with you.Cause if you are not, there’s naught we can do. In other words, the words of Popeye the sailor man, “Iam who I am! And that’s who I am.” I am your Dear Suzy!See you next month! —Love, Suzy

Support Our Stars of the FutureSunday, May 7th • Departs 1:00 p.m.

The South Plantation High School (SPHS) Drama program is adiverse program that strives for professional theatre in a high school setting.SPHS is recognized as the only cluster school in the Broward School Districtfor the deaf and hard of hearing. Because of this unique status, the theatreprogram director, Jason Zembuch, chooses to direct all productions in a styleknown as “Theatre for the Deaf ” with all mainstage productions beingperformed in both voice and American Sign Language. Under the direction of Mr. Zembuch, the students take part in whatthey call “builds.” This is where the students build the sets, design and createthe costumes and props, design hair, make-up, lights and sound for each oftheir shows. Actors and crew members will stay until ten at night rehearsingand working on the technical aspects. They will even come in on weekends. The SPHS drama program gets no funding from the school. In betweenrehearsals and builds, they work hard to fundraise all the money they needto put on a production by selling ad spaces in their playbill, doing car washesand garage sales, setting up fundraisers with restaurants and selling tickets. This month they will be presenting the popular musical Little Shop ofHorrors. Ticket prices are usually $15 at the door but they have graciouslygiven us a special discount. If you’d like to support this wonderful theatregroup, join us on Sunday, May 7th, and for just $5 enjoy a very entertainingshow starring some very talented high schoolers. who hope to become ourstars of the future.

The group designed the 2017 OAMtheme, Age Out Loud, to give aging a new voice—one that reflects whattoday’s older adults have to say. This theme shines a light on many importanttrends. More than ever before, older Americans are working longer, tryingnew things, and engaging in their communities. They’re taking charge,striving for wellness, focusing on independence and advocating for themselvesand others. Older Americans Month is a perfect opportunity to recognizeand celebrate what getting older looks like today. Throughout the monthyou’ll be seeing us going around with a sign that we will ask you to bephotographed with to put on our Facebook page to show the world that ageis only a number and we still have many vital, intelligent seniors who areproud to be the age they are! On Friday, May 12th, we will hold acomplimentary hot dog lunch to celebrate. What could be more Americanthan hot dogs, and we are NEVER too old to enjoy them!

THERE’S LOTS TO DO, INTERESTING PROGRAMS & MORE!

Cinco de MayoFriday, May 5thThe 5th of May is not

Mexican Independence Day,but perhaps it should be! And Cinco

de Mayo is not an American holiday, butit should be. Cinco de Mayo, commemoratesthe triumph of a small Mexican army overFrench forces in the 1862 battle, “Batallade Puebla.” The Mexicans had won a great victorythat kept Napoleon III from supplying theConfederate rebels for another year, allowingthe United States to build the greatest armythe world had ever seen. This grand armysmashed the Confederates at Gettysburgjust 14 months after the battle of Puebla,essentially ending the Civil War. It might be a historical stretch to creditthe survival of the United States to thosebrave 4,000 Mexicans who faced an armytwice as large in 1862, but who knows? This year we celebrate in the traditionalstyle by having a Mariachi Band entertainyou. On Friday, May 5th, at Happy Hourbetween 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., the CardRoom will be filled with the exciting soundsof Mariachis. Enjoy the traditional drinkof Mexico, the Margarita, along with salsaand tortilla chips. At dinner sample a littleMexican fare. Viva el Cinco de Mayo!

Sterling UniversityWednesdays, May 3rd, 17th • 10:45 a.m. Professor Phil Leto returns with two timelytopics during May. “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,”his first session on the 3rd, looks at he start of anew season, when every baseball fan is an optimist.Consider those decades just before and after WorldWar II, when baseball was as much a culturalphenomenon as a sport. Recall the exciting pennantraces as well as the exploits of Willie Mays, SandyKoufax, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, RobertoClemente, Ernie Banks, Warren Spahn and others.Imagine what these pre-steroid stars would earnin today’s overpaid free agent market? On the 17th, Professor Leto looks at “NorthKorea.” Led by the clearly unstable Kim Jung Un,North Korea continues to directly threaten its moreprosperous Asian neighbors and now, the UnitedStates. As the world watches, the hermit kingdomis building an increasingly sophisticated nuclearprogram, as it already possesses the world’s fourthlargest standing army. The recent assassination ina Malaysian airport terminal of Kim Jong Nam,Kim Jong Un’s half-brother, with the banned nerveagent VX, is the latest example of this irrationaland extremely dangerous state.
