September signifies the end of summer with Labor Day
celebrations and the Autumnal Equinox on the 23rd. In this last
month of our “Stay Connected” series we aspire to connect with our friends and
embrace the theme of Spread Your Joy.
The Mayo Clinic tells us that friends are good for your
health. They can help you celebrate good times, provide support during bad
times, prevent loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship,
too. Friends increase your sense of belonging and purpose, boost happiness,
reduce stress, and improve your self-confidence and self-worth. Friends can
also encourage you to increase healthy habits – it’s always better to walk,
run, swim or exercise with a friend. And friends don’t always have to be of the
human kind either! Several studies have shown that heart attack patients who
have pets survive longer than those without.
Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Music
and Meditation Lunch and Learn at the Lafayette Tavern on September 9th
at noon; our “A Night Down 42nd Street” Broadway Performance as part
of our Alive in All Seasons Friends and Family Dinner on September 11th
from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm; our Come Meet Your Emergency Personnel Lunch and Learn
honoring local First Responders on September 19th at noon; or our
Emergency Preparedness Seminar in conjunction with Force Growth LLC and
Crawford County Emergency Management which is open to all community members
especially small business owners and residents on September 25th
from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Please look through our calendar and join us for any events
that can help you stay connected, cultivate friendships and Spread Your Joy!
