September Greetings Neighbors,

Although most folks consider Labor Day to be the end of Summer it really

"officiallV' ends on September 22nd. It has been a fairly average Sacramento summer here at Imperial Manor. This year our Labor Day tradition continues with an "Old Fashioned BBQ and Picnic" on Monday the 7th. We plan on beginning to serve the food around

11:30am so be sure to be here for the Free Food. We will be serving BBQ Teriyaki Chicken and hot dogs with all the fixings. If you have a favorite side dish that you

would like to prepare and bring to share please feel free to do so, that will bring a great addition to this picnic. Items like potato salad & macaroni salad, maybe some baked beans or deviled eggs are always welcome. This festive event is open to all park residents and their families so you don't need to come alone! The swimming pool will be open and we are relaxing the children's swim times for this one day, resident accompanied children may enjoy the pool

from 8am to 6pm. Park resident Dave is a long time local musician and he has put together some Live music for us to enjoy during our picnic and fellowship time in and around the

clubhouse and pool deck. This is going to be a must see event so don't miss out!

If anyone needs a ride to the clubhouse and special seating just let us know in

advance at the park office and we'll arrange it for you. See you there! Bill Feliz, Community Manager

IS YELLING HAPPINESS 19

NEW BINGO GAMES IN THE CLUBHOUSE BINGO has long tradition in our community. It has offered many residents a regular time of socializing and having fun with friends and neighbors. It brings people out for some much-needed fellowship together. Park resident Glen in space #117 has brought this fun activity back to the clubhouse for everyone to enjoy! Our resident Glen is going to give it go at calling BINGO games at

least twice a month. This new Bingo will have a food twist, potluck side dish or yummy treat. Players will be able to relax and have their tummy filled while playing the games and talking with everyone. Players will be encouraged to bring something eatable to share but it will not be required to play. Games are played in our Airconditioned park clubhouse.

The new BINGO will be the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at 6pm. A new BINGO TEAM is being established and the new times and days are listed here. There are many CASH prizes offered. Other prizes are gift cards from Grocery Outlet, Little Ceasars pizza, or local restaurants & coffee shops. Bingo can be very fun when there is a goal and prize that people like.

ACTIVITIES PUNNING MEETING All residents are invited to attend the Community Event Planning meeting, which

will

be held on Thursday, September 3 at 1•.30 pm. We will plan activities for the month

of October and beyond. If you have suggestions on what activities you would like to see in Imperial Manor, this would be the place to come and share your ideas.

CRAFTS AND CRAFT SHOW We invite you to drop in on craft day and join our residents who are beading, crocheting, diamond painting and doing other crafts. This month we will meet on September 15. We have some very talented folks in our midst who enjoy sharing and

teaching others and just love to chat with other crafters. You are also encouraged to

invite friends and relatives to come to the Craft Show on September 19. There are

many beautiful handmade items for sale, or just to view for inspiration. GAME NIGHT Game nights will be held every Wednesday in September and will coincide with the Poker Club at 6:30 pm in the clubhouse. If you have a special game you would like to play with some of your fellow residents, bring it along and hopefully

we will have a few attendees to join you. Perhaps a game of Monopoly, or Scrabble, or Bunco, or chess, or checkers, or

???? Hope to see you there.

Helping Seniors' Wishes Come True

Stephanie Berger, president/co-founder of Silver Wishes Inc., holding a wish box wants to grant one-time wishes to seniors age 65 and older living in Placer County, including Citrus Heights, Orangevale, Carmichael and Fair Oaks. Photo by Thomas J. Sullivan

SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) A local non-profit, Silver Wishes, is helping to impact the " lives of seniors "one wish at a time. -

Stephanie Berger, president/co-founder of Silver Wishes Inc. seeks to grant one-time wishes to seniors age 65 and older living in Placer and Sacramento counties, including in Citrus Heights, Orangevale, Carmichael and Fair Oaks which will impact their lives "today, tomorrow " and moving forward to help ensure that they feel known and valued, she said. While Silver Wishes grants a wide variety of one-time wishes, the organization does not provide cash, pay bills, replace roofs, purchase vehicles or provide housing assistance. Each wish nomination is thoughtfully reviewed by the board of directors each month, and while every request is considered with compassion, not all wishes are feasible for the organization to fulfill.

Anyone can nominate a senior for a special wish to be granted, she said. "We're hoping to increase public awareness about Silver Wishes and how it may help seniors who may apply. " Imperial Manor has it's own success story in our community. Recently one of the Wishes granted was right here in our park! Resident Susie Coffee had here entire roof repaired at no cost to her from Silver Wishes and their generous partners.

Granted wishes generally fall into three general types: mobility, health and wellness and something personal or a joy-filled experience, Berger said. "These can include a wish for a walker, scooter or a wheelchair which can help with everyday " most importantly bring back a sense of independence and dignity.

activities, but

"Someone else may ask for help to overcome a safety hazard around the house, membership to a sports center, or a resource which can help reduce their stress and anxiety which can " truly change one's outlook on life, she said. Other wishes may include a yard makeover, help to reconnect with a loved one or merely the opportunity to get pampered.

Helping Seniors' Wishes Come True Imperial Manor has its own success story in our community. Recently

one of the Wishes granted was right here in our park! Resident Susie Coffee had here entire roof repaired at no cost to her from Silver Wishes and their generous partners.

Nominated by friend (Citrus Heights, CA)

Winter was weighing heavily on Susie's mind, but the moment she learned her wish would be granted, everything changed. She shared that "a horrific burden has been lifted," bringing her relief and renewed hope. We are so grateful to Kodiak Roofing and Waterproofing for making her wish possible, and to Jennyennio

Photography and Elkin Images for capturing the joy of this special day.

The Crafty Corner

By Mark Wilson

Hi Everyone, It

seems like this year is going by pretty fast. With the Holidays coming up,

Birthdays, Anniversaries, Thanksgiving and Christmas, why not make your own crafts for gifts this year. People love getting handmade & thoughtful items like Jewelry, Candles, Woodwork, Beading, Artwork & Drawings. or

maybe you have a special talent with your own craft, possibly sewing or yarn work. You can always find someone at the craft day on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, or on the 3rd Saturday of each month in the park clubhouse for the monthly craft show. To make or purchase your own craft check your Imperial Manor monthly newsletter and Calander for exact dates and times

for each month or feel free to contact me, Mark Wilson Space #25 or call or

text me at 530-354-1511 or email me at markwiIson5662@gmail.com This month's feature is a poem that I wrote on January 11 2006. This poem

was inspired when I used to walk by others who were studying or worshipping together and I was so wrapped up in the world that I just passed by them, not caring, not sharing, not believing, until my eyes were opened by The True and Living God. I wasn't perfect back then and I am still not perfect but I do understand my purpose in this world now, that it's okay to share and this tables for all.

Thank you and God Bless!

The Crafty Corner Poetry by Mark Willson

This Tables for All Lost Troubled and blind, looking but not found, Searching but not seen, your eyes open... they're round. Once, twice your walk by, putting up a wall, When a brother says, This tables for all.

Once again you wait, trying not to look,

Your heart starts to race, then handed a book. C-mon my brother, I won't let you fail, Listen to your heart, This tables for all. Brothers start to talk, Scripture, praise and verse, Thinking to yourself, is anything worse.

You're young, maybe old, not knowing the call, We're all brothers here, This tables for all.

Alone by yourself, God shows how to pray,

Inside of your heart, He says your okay. More bold and you're there, you're out in the hall. Start telling yourself, This tables for all.

You invite Christ in, to fill you with light, Your hope is one day, you've chose to be right. God's love is so strong, both short and the tall, It's my turn to tell, This tables for all.

Older adults may be more likely to have heat-related health problems.

Despite health warnings about sun damage, many of us still spend time in the sun without adequate protection. In one large study, more than a third of adults and nearly 60% of children and teens in the U.S. reported getting at least one sunburn in a year. Ultraviolet (UV) rays are invisible rays from the sun that can damage your skin, even on cloudy days. Over time, too much UV exposure can cause premature aging, including wrinkles and age spots, and significantly increase your risk of skin cancer. UV radiation from the sun is responsible for most skin cancers, which is why it's important to take precautions when spending time outdoors. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends three simple steps: 1. 2. 3.

Seek shade when appropriate Wear sun-protective clothing Apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher

To reduce your risk of sun damage, limit time in direct sunlight, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when UV rays are strongest. If you need to be outside, wear a widebrimmed hat, sunglasses, protective clothing, and sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If you notice changes to a mole, a new growth, or a sore that won't heal, contact your doctor promptly.
