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 />
