Valentines Day is Friday, February 14th!

You can expect decorating, music, food

and a party!

Tuesday, February 25th is Mardi Gras. Join us for fun and

celebration all day. The party begins at 10:00 a.m. with Paczki

and coffee.

If you have ever had any interest in the theater including acting,

directing, producing, lighting, or other technical aspects of live

production then you should consider becoming involved in Readers

Theater. Readers Theater is a unique form of stage production

where the actors are not required to memorize a script. It also does

not involve stage blocking or costumes but rather the story and

emotions are completely communicated through the spoken words

of the actors as they read the script. This is a fun exciting way to

perform theater without the added pressure of memorization. If you

have a flair for the dramatic then this is the perfect opportunity for

you!

We're going to be seeing a lot

of pink and red this month.

From Valentine's Day to

American Heart Month and all

the celebrations in between,

these pink and red shapes

hold a whole lot of meaning.

Here are a few quick facts

about hearts: The average heart is the size of a fist in an adult.

Your heart will beat about 115,000 times each day. Your heart

pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood every day. Our hearts are

amazing and do so much for us! February is a month to recognize

the power of our hearts. This month especially, aside from

appreciating the beauty of our hearts mechanics, let us appreciate

love and what a heart can represent. Let's reach out to one

another, show love and compassion, and be kind!

Heart toHeart It’s flu-season and word from our

medical community is that it’s a bad one.

Several of you have gotten your flu shot,

but here are some tips for staying

healthy the remainder of the flu-season.

1) Follow the 6-foot rule with anyone

who appears to have a respiratory

illness. The most frequent way the flu is

transmitted is by coughing or sneezing.

Droplets with germs seldom travel

beyond 6 feet. 2) Wash your hands often,

especially after you shake hands. 3)

When out in public, try to avoid touching

your lips, nose, or eyes unless you have

just washed your hands. Most people

don’t even know they’re doing it. Studies

have shown that people touch their faces

an average of 16 times an hour. 4) If you

do get the flu, stay home so you don’t

infect others.

Path to Well-Being

The New Years Eve Fifties Themed Party was a wonderful success. The

committee did an outstanding job planning and decorating! The band was

delightful and our own Lindsay Clay sang and entertained us during

intermission. We enjoyed banana splits, root beer floats, Boston Coolers

served by these fine gentleman recruits. After the raffle and the countdown

to the "ball" dropping, we toasted in 2020 with a champagne toast served

by hospitable residents. The evening ended with the band leading us

in "Aulde Lang Syne." Happy 2020!
