Do You Have Mobility Issues That Prevent You from Attending Events?

If you didn’t already know, our club purchased a large 8 passenger golf cart for the purpose of helping our residents get around the park and to deliver meals from events to residents who can’t be at an event! Please do not let mobility issues stop you from getting to the clubhouse or ordering a meal from our events and have it delivered to you!

Call Beverly at 508-208-7617 or Dave at 508-320-4840 if you need a ride! Or if you want one of our event meals delivered.

Food Bank: Please come out for the food bank distribution. Our food bank is for EVERYONE regardless of income. If you work and think that you can’t come, wrong! Please come down and take advantage of some great fresh veggies, meat, eggs, canned foods and packaged foods. Every week is different, come and see what’s there.

AUGUST

Happiness Happens Month is celebrated annually in August. It is dedicated to celebrating things that make you happy. It’s a known fact that happiness is contagious and sharing your happiness can bring a smile to someone’s face. The month reminds us that happiness can be found in even little things that we might not notice and that spreading the same joy amongst others can help make the world a better place.

National Book Lovers Day, August 9, A day for all those who love to read, National Book Lovers Day encourages you to find your favorite reading place, a good book (whether it be fiction or nonfiction) and read the day away. The very first books used parchment or vellum (calf-skin) for the book pages. The book covers were made of wood and often covered with leather. Clasps or straps kept the books closed. Public libraries appeared in the Middle Ages. Public libraries often chained the books to a shelf or a desk to prevent theft.

National Son’s and Daughter’s Day, August 11, Let your children know that you are glad they are part of your life. While listening to the events of their day, share family stories. Find out about their hopes and dreams. Learn what inspires them. Teach them something new, or maybe there's something they can teach you. Enjoy every day you have with them and spend as much quality time as you can.

On August 17, National Nonprofit Day (NND) recognizes the goals and positive impacts nonprofits have on communities and the world. Somewhere a volunteer reads to school children. At the same time, a patient receives steady medication. A lawyer provides legal services for low-income individuals. A lost soul's life is remembered with dignity, thanks to a nonprofit funeral home. Elsewhere, a first-time homebuyer moves into his own home. Or like here in our park, residents are receiving free food and services! NND reminds us that each of these scenes is possible thanks to the nonprofit sector. It's the result of the work performed by capable people and organizations. Through nonprofits, awareness, research, and aid reach the people who need it most. Nonprofits also generate tremendous benefits to their surrounding communities and the broader world.

National Senior Citizens Day, August 21st, On August 21, National Senior Citizens Day recognizes the achievements of the more mature representatives of our nation. The day provides an opportunity to show our appreciation for their dedication, accomplishments, and services they give throughout their lives. According to the 2024 census, 61.2 million seniors live in the United States. By 2060, that number will nearly double. Their wealth of knowledge, skill, and experience offer so much to the next generation. As technologies advance, these are the people who've experienced each step of change. Not only have they contributed to it, but they understand firsthand the benefits and the drawbacks. They know life without the advancements that exist today.

National Be An Angel Day, On August 22, National Be an Angel Day encourages good deeds and kindness to others. By supporting those in need and inspiring others to kindness, we display an act of an angel here on earth. The day also recognizes those who've been angels to us. Sometimes we have a terrible day. Whether its bad news or poor planning, we all have them. A kind word, a hug, or even a pleasant atmosphere makes a difference.

QUOTES

A salary is the drug they give you to forget your dreams.

Kevin O'Leary

I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That's the thing. You can't just visualize and go eat a sandwich."

Jim Carrey

When we forget to use visualization and imagination, it is like not using our minds.

Jose Silva

You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

Mahatma Gandhi

The start is what stops most people. Don Shula

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you.

Harrison Ford

Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong, these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.

Winston Churchill

The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph."

Author Unknown

The pessimist worries about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.

William Arthur Ward

Progress equals happiness.

Tony Robbins

The Lighter Side

Careful

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.

Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter!

Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter.

Oh my gosh! They're going to STICK! Careful. I said CAREFUL!

You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt!"

The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving!"

GI Insurance

Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center to sell recruits GI insurance benefits.

Captain Smith noticed that Jones had a 100% record for insurance sales. It had never happened before.

The Captain then sat in the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the insurance.

"If you have GI Insurance and get killed in battle, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and get killed in battle, the government only has to pay $6,000. Now, who do you think they send into battle first?"
