SALUTE!!! It’s that time
again - when the clubhouse
is transformed into an Italian
Bistro for our renown PASTA
NIGHT. Mmmm - Spaghetti
and Meatballs, accompanied by
salad, bread, and wine. Mark your
calendars and get your tickets
early - watch the board for ticket details. The only thing you need to bring is your place
settings (and a dollar if you’d like to take a chance on the 50/50 drawings).
Staying Safe In The Household: How To Avoid Common Dangers
____________________________________________________________________
It’s almost a cliché to say that most accidents happen in the home, but the truth is
that if you’re not careful, you or your family can get seriously hurt just where you
feel most safe. Prevent an injury—or a tragedy—by watching out for these common
threats:
• Falls. Make sure carpets and rugs are fastened securely, electrical cords are
out of the way, and floors and staircases are clear of obstacles. Wipe up spills
immediately. Install grab bars in showers and bathtubs.
• Electrocution. Keep electrical outlets covered with safety plugs, especially
if small children are about. Examine cords regularly and replace any that are
worn. Keep them away from pets that might chew on them.
• Poisoning. Keep cleaning supplies, medicines, pesticides, and any other hazardous
substances locked up and out of reach of children and safely away from
food preparation areas. Post the number of a poison control center near your
phone, so you can call for advice without delay.
• Fire. Install smoke detectors in each bedroom, and on every floor, and keep
them in good working order. Have a plan for escaping the house in case of fire,
and practice it regularly. (Provided by First Draft)
