Hi all,
Welcome to summer! This month is a busy one! We start with the community break- fast at the Nahant Village Church on Friday June 2nd at 8am. If you need a ride, please call us at the Tiffany Room, and let us know so we can make arrangements.
We will be going to the Johnson School for an end of the year concert on June 9th after eating lunch in the Tiffany Room on that day. We have a new artist coming to join us after lunch on Monday, June 12th.
Learning how to make Floral Arrangements for your home will take place on June 15th after lunch in the Tiffany Room. We honor the men in our lives on June 16, the Friday before Father’s Day, with a cookout, and by wearing the color blue. Blue is designated as the color chosen to raise awareness about men’s health and the need for more men to be more proactive in taking better care of themselves. So please wear blue as a sign of love and support for the men who matter to us!
We round out the month at the Dory Club, June 28th, with an early 4th of July cook- out. All the news about these events and more can be found on the inside pages of this newsletter.
On a national level, June celebrates many things as well. We live in a coastal community and June is National Oceans Month. Around 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by oceans. The Pacific Ocean covers around 30% of the earth’s surface making it the largest ocean in the world. It’s amazing to think that the waters that flow alongside where we live, travel the earth and return back to us. We have a responsibility to take care of it now and for future generations to come!
June is also National Dairy month. Each day milk is served at the Tiffany Room during lunch. Milk contains nine essential nutrients that may help better manage weight and reduce a person’s risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis and certain cancers. Dairy products are a natural nutrient powerhouse. So please drink your milk and instead of “SAY (ing) CHEESE next time your picture is being taken – EAT the cheese instead!
And finally, June is Gay and Lesbian Pride Month! Throughout the year many gay and lesbian individuals have contributed, across the boards, in so many walks of life, in ways that enriched the lives of many of us both locally and nationally. Gay Pride month celebrates the rich diversity of the gay community, civil liberties and rights for all.
See you at the beach!
