Beautiful weather for our trip to thepark!

Circle of Friends News...This past month, residents in our Circle of Friends rung in the fall

season with a trip to Griffith Park for an outdoor picnic. Scenes ofchildren playing, leaves turning colors and the feeling of weatherchanging brought warm memories of seasons past. Other popularoutings were to the Gene Autry Museum--where residents reminiscedabout old westerns they saw growing up and a few fondly rememberedvisiting the museum when it originally opened! With our theme the pastmonth being “Travel to China,” several activities and crafts were basedon the theme of Chinese culture--including our lunch outing to JoyFeast. Here, residents enjoyed having a taste of the culture they hadlearned so much about while also enjoying the wonderful company thatis Circle of Friends!

Neighborhood News...It was another fun-filled month

for the Neighborhood! An onuswas placed on creating newactivities to ensure the “just-rightchallenge” is being met in fresh,exciting ways. Residents stillthoroughly enjoy putting theircrafting skills to use and therewere plenty of opportunities forthem this past month! Animmediate example are thelanterns they created in honor ofLabor Day. Lanterns weredesigned and assembled utilizingthe traditional colors of theAmerican flag. Another popularcraft was making papier mâchéfruits and vegetables inaccordance with our theme of thatday! Dog visits from Sweetie Belle,the gentle giant, remain a favoriteamong the residents (everySunday at 2:30pm if you want tosee her yourself). Here’s to awonderful October!

October Is “BreastCancer Awareness”

MonthFrom DRCS

Tammy CooperThink pink this October and

support National Breast CancerAwareness Month! Statistics showthat 1 out of 8 women in theUnited States will developinvasive breast cancer over thecourse of her lifetime. Since twoof the biggest risk factors are beingfemale and getting older, nowoman can ignore this disease.

The facts:1.) Breast cancer is the leading

cause of cancer death in womenages 20 to 59.

2.) White women have thehighest breast cancer incidence,then African American, followedby Native American, Hispanic andfinally Asian American with thelowest incidence.

3.) About 15 percent of womenwho get breast cancer have afamily member diagnosed with it.

4.) There are 2.9 million breastcancer survivors in the UnitedStates.

5) Early detection of breast

cancer greatly increases thechances of survival.

6) Chronic stress fuels cancercells

Throughout October, manylocal and national nonprofitorganizations will be runningbreast cancer awarenesscampaigns and raising funds forresearch into prevention,diagnosis, treatment and cures.Many of these organizations alsoprovide support for peopleaffected by the disease. October isalso national spa week 17th-23rd.This biannual event focuses on thepersonal health and wellness ofconsumers. Every April andOctober, hundreds of spa andwellness locations across NorthAmerica provide two to three fullservice spa treatments for just $50each, offering everyone access tothe spa and wellness lifestyle.Breast cancer at various stages maycause increased stress levels for allinvolved. This October, spayourself!
