Judi’s Notes: 

Take It Easy 

National Relaxation Day is 

Aug. 15, so try the No. 1 

suggestion on the Woman’s Day 

list of Relaxation Tips: Drink green 

tea. According to the magazine, 

research suggests that antioxidants 

in green tea can help lower bad 

cholesterol, increase good 

cholesterol, and help protect 

against heart disease and stroke. 

Green tea also fights oral decay 

and can aid in weight loss, and 

there’s some evidence that it may 

even protect against certain 

cancers. Make the tea good and 

hot, adds the magazine, and you’ll 

build in extra downtime while 

waiting for it to cool. 

Historical Battle of August 

On Aug. 16, 1780, Camden, S.C., 

turned into an unplanned 

battleground during the course of 

the American Revolution. An early 

morning chance encounter 

between the Southern Continental 

Army and British forces led to a 

full-blown military battle later 

that day. The 3,000-strong British 

troops overpowered the 

inexperienced American militia in 

a resounding victory that secured 

Britain’s control of the region. 

Hats Off to Barbers Everywhere 

August 2012 

What better time to clean up that 

crew cut, moisturize your mullet 

or shave off that ’stache than on 

National Men’s Grooming Day, 

annually the third Friday 

in August. 

After You! 

Aug. 25-31 is the 20th Annual Be 

Kind to Humankind Week. Show 

you care with these daily 

affirmations: Motorist 

Consideration Monday, 

Touch-a-Heart Tuesday, Willing to 

Lend a Hand Wednesday, 

Thoughtful Thursday, Forgive 

Your Foe Friday, Speak Kind 

Words Saturday and Sacrifice Our 

Wants Sunday. 

Heat and Your Pets 

When the weather changes from 

warm to hot, you have to 

remember to drink plenty of 

water. The same goes for your 

pets. Make sure your furry friends 

have plenty of water to drink 

throughout the day, especially if 

they spend a lot of time outside.

Circle of Friends 

News! 

This month, we will be 

celebrating with our annual 

summer luau! The Circle of 

Friends has a long list of crafts 

designed so we can celebrate 

this party in style! Our new 

Circle of Friends Activity 

Assistant, Amanda Perry, is 

very creative and keeps us 

crafting! Our next project will 

be writing letters to our troops 

still stationed overseas. With 

the help of anysolider.com, 

we will be sending letters and 

care packages to soldiers who 

don’t get any or much mail 

while stationed overseas. 

Claire is all smiles in the 

NBH! 

Are YOU a LEO?! (07/23 

- 08/23) 

Balloons, cake, a D.J., party 

streamers, fruit punch, vodka, 

hors d’oeuvres, and even dancing 

girls help make a great party, but 

if you don’t have a golden throne 

perched on a pedestal along with 

a dark purple velvet robe and 

crown for your Leo guest to be 

displayed in, then you just don’t 

know your Leo friend very well. 

Leo is the second fire sign of the 

zodiac and is symbolized by the 

lion. This makes sense for the 

Leo’s presentation. 

The Leo is very well-known for 

their great confidence, astonishing 

generosity, limitless vanity, 

boundless ambitions, 

unbelievable dramatics and 

uncompromising superiority. 

Neighborhood News! 

Last month, we took our first Neighborhood 

outing. Activity Assistant Kim and Melissa took 

three residents out to enjoy smoothies at Jamba 

Juice. They had a great time! We will continue 

to take small groups of our Neighborhood 

residents out for an outing every week. If you 

would like to join your loved one on our next 

Neighborhood weekly outing, please contact 

Melissa, your Memory Programs Coordinator. 

Quite a distance higher than the 

rest of the group, the Leo keeps a 

powerful appearance, stays secure, 

imposes judgment on everything 

according to themselves, but 

believe it, or not, the Leo honestly 

cares for others, but from a 

distance. This is fine because we 

can clearly hear their roar! 

Marie is a LEO!

Yogurtland! 

I scream, you scream, we all 

scream for ice cream (or 

yogurt:-)! Join us as we take a 

group to eat some yummy 

yogurt at Yogurtland! Enjoy 

over 15 different flavors and 

toppings! This nice weather 

isn’t going to stay around 

forever, so let’s take advantage 

of it!

Please join us for the following

month in our community:

Meditation: Intro Seminar 

Nerissa’s Corner: Why 

It’s Good to Smile:-) 

We could all do with a bit of 

cheering up every now and then, 

so with research suggesting that all 

we need to do is smile, we look at 

how a simple facial expression 

could help lighten your mood. 

There’s nothing quite like a 

winsome smile for perking you 

up, as well as those around you. 

Smiling, laughing, and positive 

thinking have been shown to have 

a huge number of health benefits 

to both mind and body. Stress has 

been linked to a number of health 

problems, including heart disease, 

Type 2 diabetes, high blood 

pressure and obesity. 

• When you laugh, your body 

releases endorphins. These 

are brain chemicals known as 

neurotransmitters, which 

make us feel happy. They are 

also a natural pain and stress 

reliever. 

• Laughing reduces levels of 

cortisol, the stress hormone, 

and gives us a quick burst 

of energy. 

• A good laugh can be 

beneficial to the lungs, boost 

immunity, and could even 

burn off calories. 

Smiley, happy people are thought 

to have more friends and be more 

successful, by appearing more 

confident and approachable. 

Welc me 

New Residents 

We would like to take this 

opportunity to welcome all of 

our new residents to our

have you as a part of our 

community, and if there is 

anything we can do to make 

your transition here more 

comfortable, please let us know.
