SEPTEMBER IS DISASTER PREPAREDNESS MONTH

What happens if there’s a disaster and you lose your home? What if you can’t find food or safe water? That’s a scary thought. Yet, every year, children around the world face disasters like floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and conflict.

That’s where ShelterBox comes in!

ShelterBox Sends Lifesaving Aid

What’s in a ShelterBox Aid Package?

Do the math problem under each item. If the answer is an even number, that item may be included in a ShelterBox package. Circle it in green. If it’s an odd number, the item is not in the box. Cross it out.

When disaster strikes, not everyone needs the same thing.

After an earthquake, families might need strong tents and tool kits to rebuild.

In flooding, families may get water filters and blankets.

In conflict zones, aid could include solar lights and cooking sets.

Every package is different, but all are designed to help families survive and recover when they’ve lost everything.

ShelterBox: A Rotary Idea!

Did you know ShelterBox started in the year 2000 by a Rotary Club in the UK? Today, Rotary members and other supporters help ShelterBox reach families in more than 100 countries.

Together, they’ve helped millions of people nd shelter and safety.

Oops! An earthquake shook the vowels out of this list! Replace the vowels, then share this list with your family. Use this list to make your own ShelterBox for your family. W_ter and f_ _d for four d_ys M_dicines F_rst aid k_t Fl_shl_ghts and _xtra b_tteri_s

Needs and Wants

ShelterBox aid is tailored to local needs. Sometimes the package is a sturdy tent—a safe space to call home. Other times, it’s a set of tarps, ropes, and tools to help families repair damaged homes. To find out more, visit shelterboxusa.org

through the newspaper and circle in green pictures and words that are “needs.” Circle in orange things that are “wants.”

ShelterBox USA President Kerri Murray encourages families to pack up their own emergency supplies so they can be prepared if a disaster hits.

How seniors can cultivate a new hobby

Retirement is often characterized as a carefree time in life when adults who spent years in the workforce get to enjoy the fruits of their labors. But upon retiring, many retirees find themselves fighting boredom. A recent study from Indeed found that, as of March 2022, 3.2 percent of workers who retired a year earlier had already reentered the workforce. No two retirees are the same, and a host of variables, boredom among them, likely compelled recently retired professionals to go back to work.

Retirees who like the freedom of not working but are confronting a good bit of boredom can consider these tips to cultivate a new hobby that can help them pass the time in a rewarding and engaging way.

• Identify new (or old) interests. Many retirees discover new passions in retirement, while others turn back the clock and revisit favorite hobbies from their youth. A good way to begin cultivating a new hobby is to jot down a list of activities you always found interesting but never had the time to learn or became too busy to fully invest

in. Some seniors hit the links for the first time in retirement, while others return to school to study subjects they find interesting but did not engage with during their college years. The options are endless, and jotting down a list of new or old interests is a great way to get the ball rolling.

• Embrace new ways to engage a passion. Virtual resources like online courses and book clubs conducted over Zoom with fellow readers across the nation and possibly even the globe are a great way to cultivate a new hobby in retirement. Virtual resources can be especially beneficial for seniors with mobility issues.

• Consider locally based resources. Community parks departments and libraries may offer an array of free or affordable opportunities for seniors to engage with a new hobby. Parks departments may offer anything from cross country skiing tutorials to age-based hiking excursions, while libraries may offer weekly crafting sessions or wellness programs to local residents. In addition to

providing fun ways to discover and cultivate a new hobby, programs offered through parks departments and local libraries are great ways to meet fellow retirees.

• Put your experience to use. Retirees with years in their field don’t have to go back to work

to make use of their professional expertise. Contact local youth organizations or outreach programs sponsored by churches, libraries or local law enforcement agencies and offer to share your expertise with young people. Such opportunities allow retirees to continue to engage with their professions

and help a younger generation of aspiring professionals gain valuable insight into fields they’re interested in. There’s no shortage of ways for seniors to overcome retirement boredom and cultivate rewarding hobbies.

Separating fact from fiction regarding menopause

Menopause is a natural biological function that takes place in a woman’s life. Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, meaning she will no longer be able to conceive children.

Menopause often is misunderstood, largely due to persisting myths. Separating the facts from fiction can help provide clarity regarding this stage in a woman’s life.

Fiction: Menopause happens suddenly on a specific date.

Fact: Menopause is a gradual process that begins with a stage known as perimenopause. This is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, which can last four to nine years. The North American Menopause Society says most women begin perimenopause in their mid- to late-40s and reach menopause around age 51 on average.

Fiction: You’ll know in advance when you’ve reached menopause.

Fact: Menopause will not be evident until after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.

Fiction: Hot flashes are the only symptom of menopause to be concerned about.

Fact: Menopause (and perimenopause) can bring on a variety of symptoms. John’s Hopkins Medicine says approximately 75 to 80 percent of women will experience hot flashes during menopause. However, additional symptoms may include night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, joint pain, and memory problems. The Mayo Clinic emphasizes that symptoms and their severity vary widely among women.

Fiction: Menopause is depressing and a sign of “getting old.”

Fact: Menopause is a natural life stage and not a sign of decline. Many women report feeling more confident after menopause has occurred and less stressed not having to keep track of menstrual periods. A 2023 survey from the American Association of Retired Persons found that 71 percent of women between the ages of 45 and 59 felt empowered to take charge of their health during menopause.

Fiction: Women just have to grin and bear the menopause transition.

Fact: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is safe and effec-

tive for many women, particularly those under age 60 or within 10 years of the onset of menopause. A Women’s Health Initiative study in the early 2000s initially correlated HRT to increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease and stroke. Today, updated reviews from the National Institutes of Health clarify that these risks depend on individual factors. HRT remains the most effective treat-

ment for hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Fiction: Menopause will put an end to intimacy.

Fact: Some women report changes in libido and vaginal comfort after menopause takes place, but many women remain sexually active and happy. A study in Menopause, the official journal of the NAMS, found 60 percent of women between the

ages of 50 and 79 reported being sexually active. Various products and treatments can support sexual health as women age.

Menopause is something most women will experience as they age, whether naturally or brought on by reproductive surgery. Getting past the myths to the real information can set minds at ease.
