Hi All,
Welcome to summer! This month is a busy one! We start with the community
breakfast at the Nahant Village Church on Friday June 7th at 8am. If you need a ride,
please call us at the Tiffany Room, and let us know so we can make arrangements.
We honor the men in our lives on June 14th the Friday before Father’s Day, with a
classic favorite of meatloaf lunch 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!
On a national level, June celebrates many things as well. We live in a coastal commu-
nity and June is National Oceans Month. Around 70% of the earth’s surface is cov-
ered 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 along-
side 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!
