June 2024: On The Boulevard

On The Boulevard

JUNE 2024

Greetings Residents,

According to the National Weather Service, June begins the Atlantic hurricane season and continues through November 30. As you know, most hurricanes tend to come later in the season when the Gulf water temperatures increase. Remembering Ian in September 2022, everyone should have their own personal plan in place.

Amy Howard from the Collier County Bureau of Emergency Services will be here for our Hurricane Preparedness Seminar on Tuesday, July 9 at 10:00 AM. in the Barcelona Room. Jim Jansen with ServiceMaster by Wright will answer your questions about priority emergency clean-up, inside-apartment remediation, and The Marbella common areas. So far, we estimate occupancy to be 78% this summer.

I welcome you to stop by and see the executive office and say hi. Have a safe and healthy summer!

– Michelle

Whether you're spending your vacation lounging on a sandy beach, exploring charming European cities, trekking through lush forests, or immersing yourself in local traditions, we want to experience it all through your lens.

Email darci.kopp@guestservices.com with Photo Contest in the subject line and name each photo. The contest runs from June 1 through September 30; we'll select winners in October. Photos may be featured in an upcoming newsletter.

THE MORE YOU KNOW

Avoid Dehydration During The Summer Months

Sixty percent of our body is composed of water. A healthy, average individual loses water through breaths (about 0.5-1 L), stool (100-200 mL), urine (1-2 L), and skin (300-400 mL) per day.

Our body tries to compensate for this loss of water by several means. One of them is thirst. While thirst can be intense in a young individual, an older adult may lack it; this places the older adults at high risk for dehydration. During hot summer weather or exercise, skin losses of water can be as high as 1-2 liters per hour. Symptoms of dehydration can be fatigue, weakness, low blood pressure, dizziness, abdominal pain, chest pain, and confusion. Severe dehydration can be fatal as this may reduce blood supply to your heart, brain, kidneys, and other major organs.

While eight glasses of water per day is a good rule, you may need more to maintain your active lifestyle. The above recommendation may not apply to heart failure patients.

Be very careful during the hot summer months, as your thirst mechanism may not be triggered to compensate for dehydration. If you plan to take a long walk or exercise, ensure you have access to water. Stay healthy!

Book Club

The Marbella Book Club will take a summer break to allow everyone to find new books for our Fall 2024 and 2025 reading list. We will resume meeting on September 20 with a special session to select eight books for the coming months. Members are asked to bring a written page about a favorite book, or books they believe will be interesting for all of us to read. We will need the title, author, and a brief summary. The top vote-getters will comprise the monthly schedule starting on October 18. We will see you in September to talk about and celebrate our world of books. Enjoy the summer!
