ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION INVITES<br />
KATY/WEST HOUSTON RESIDENTS TO<br />
JOIN <strong>2020</strong> WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S®<br />
Participants will Raise Critically Needed Awareness and Funds for<br />
Alzheimer’s Care, Support and Research. The Alzheimer’s Association®<br />
is inviting<strong>Katy</strong>, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond and other <strong>West</strong> Houston<br />
area residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the<br />
Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The Walk will take place<br />
on Saturday, September 26, <strong>2020</strong>,at La Centerra Shopping Center in <strong>Katy</strong>,<br />
Texas. On walk day, participants will honor those affected by Alzheimer’s<br />
disease with Promise Flowers during the poignant Promise Garden<br />
Ceremony - a moving display of hope to represent the personal reasons<br />
participants join together to fight Alzheimer’s.<br />
This year’s challenge is whether we will be able to come together of 1,300<br />
walkers or not. So we have two plans - Plan A is to have the big event. Plan<br />
B is to have a virtual event that may be held in various neighborhoods,<br />
businesses, schools and other smaller communities where people can<br />
come together and Walk to End Alzheimer’s. In addition to the 3-mile<br />
walk, participants will enjoy a fun-filled experience that includes valuable<br />
information, celebrations, entertainment, corporate sponsors and so<br />
much more.<br />
Participants can join a team or register to walk as an individual at www.<br />
alz.org/walk.<br />
Even though the office has been closed, the Alzheimer’s Association has<br />
continued to offer support through various avenues than before the<br />
stay-at-home order. The 24/7 Free Hotline can be a lifeline for those who<br />
suffer from the disease and those who care for them, call 800-272-3900.<br />
Support Groups are meeting virtually, please check www.alz.org for<br />
times and locations. Facebook Live sessions are held every Wednesday<br />
at 11 AM. Find the live sessions and lots of other programs and events on<br />
the Facebook page, “Alzheimer’s Association: Houston & Southeast Texas<br />
Chapter.” Virtual classes are offered to cover many issues each week. To<br />

NATIONAL CELL PHONE COURTESY MONTH<br />
National Cell Phone Courtesy Month during <strong>July</strong> encourages us to<br />
evaluate our cellular habits and consider others before we reach for<br />
our phone. Our phones have become an integral part of our lives. We<br />
schedule events organize shopping lists order birthday presents and<br />
communicate all from this one, small device. Do we even make a phone<br />
call any more?<br />
Phone courtesy has always been in fashion, but when they became<br />
smart, it seems we lost a few brain cells. National Cell Phone Courtesy<br />
Month strives to bring polite phone usage back in style.<br />
DOS AND DON’TS<br />
Silent the phone whenever you’re spending time with anyone. That<br />
includes work, a meal, meeting or with family. If you are attending a<br />
performance of any kind, turn the phone off. There are exceptions to this<br />
rule for medical professionals or other expectant emergency situations.<br />
Hidden phones are forgotten phones. We pay attention to the people<br />
in the room, the performance or the meeting. It’s also a signal to the<br />
people we are with that they are important to us.<br />
Step away if you do need to take a call. No one needs to hear your<br />
conversation while trying to enjoy a meal for two.<br />
Shhh. Monitor the volume of your voice. Even when you step away,<br />
voices carry.<br />
Pause before sending emails, texts or social media posts. Consider<br />
the content, especially if it is posted in haste. Ask yourself the following<br />
questions. Sometimes just the need to ask will be all the answer you need<br />
before deleting the comment or text: Will I regret sending this later? Am I<br />
angry? Will this hurt someone? Is this appropriate? Will this affect my job<br />
or relationship?<br />
Don’t use your phone and drive. Many states prohibit cellular use or<br />
limit it to hands-free only. Any message can wait until you arrive at your<br />
destination. If it truly is urgent, pull to a safe stopping area to receive the<br />
message or call.<br />
Don’t let your mobile device become a social hindrance. We often<br />
look to our phone for social engagement when we don’t know what else<br />
to do. Meet new people when you are in a new circle of people and begin<br />
networking with the people near you. Expand your social circle face to<br />
face and broaden the world around you.<br />
Our phones are tools. They shouldn’t replace every social context<br />
in our lives. Practice a little courtesy and gain improved relationships<br />
everywhere you go. Encourage your friends and families to join you<br />
throughout the month.<br />

NATIONAL WATERPARK DAY<br />
On <strong>July</strong> 28 th , laughter and fun are just a couple of<br />
the requirements on National Waterpark Day! We<br />
recommend bathing suits, too!<br />
Waterparks around the world provide thrilling,<br />
water plunging rides for those who seek the whiteknuckle<br />
hydro powered slides. For those who prefer<br />
to relax and unwind, lazy rivers, wave pools and<br />
spas in tropical scenes satisfy these vacationers.<br />
With so many options to choose from, waterparks<br />
can be more than just a portion of a vacation. They<br />
can be the destination. In the United States, nearly<br />
every state has a waterpark. The Wisconsin Dells is<br />
the Waterpark Capital of the World and the largest<br />
indoor park in America is currently at Kalahari<br />
Resorts and Conventions in the Pocono Mountains,<br />
Pennsylvania.<br />
From the youngest family member to grandma and<br />
grandpa, there’s a splashable, relaxable experience<br />
for all. On National Waterpark Day, enjoy all the<br />
memory making waterparks have to offer!<br />
Don’t wait! The water is perfect at a waterpark near<br />
you. Grab your bathing suit and make a splash!<br />
I can help<br />
you save money<br />
on your<br />
water bill!<br />
