Relatives Raising Children

Coordinator

Grandparents today face

new challenges in their

relationships with their

grandchildren. Today’s

grand children live in a

much different world and grandparents need to

respond in new and

unexpected ways.

As family dynamics change,

grandparents are doing

more and more. Some

grandparents are even

becoming “parents” once

again. Uncover this new way

of life for people in their

50’s and beyond and learn

what successful

grandparenting looks like

today.

The technology barrier

Setting boundaries

Safe activities

Getting outdoors

Talking about tough issues

Bullying

Difficult behaviors &

language

Fun Facts about Summer

It is not too late to join in

our summer concert series.

We have one more concert

scheduled this year. What

could be finer than a night

with family, friends, and

summer sun at a free

concert? The concert will

be performed in the parking

lot outside the main

entrance of Cottesmore.

In case of rain, the concert

will be moved inside the

Cottesmore Café.

Many of Harbor Place’s

staff members go above

and beyond their job

description on a daily

basis, and this month’s

Employee of the Month is

no different. Susan S., in

housekeeping, is this

month’s winner. She has

been nominated a number

of times for doing little

things for residents, but

If you are interested in

nominating an employee

for this honor, please pick

up a nomination form at

the Front Desk. This is

the highest compliment

you can give one of the

employees!

The dog days of summer is a common

phrase that is used to refer to the hot

sunny days of summer. There are not

many people who may know that it re-

fers to the weeks in July and August

named after the dog star Sirius in Canis

Major.

Frisbees in the past were actually

greased pie plates, which people began

to throw to each other in parks during

summer. http://www.boldsky.com/insync/pulse/2014/interesting-facts-

about-summer-season.html

this time she saved the

day. She was just doing

her job, cleaning an

apartment, when she

overheard a phone

conversation. She

stepped in and prevented

a resident from being

taken advantage on in a

scam. Thank you, Susan,

for your dedication to

keeping Harbor Place

residents safe!

Employee of the Month

The Summer Olympics take place every

four years. They were held for the first

time in Greece more than two thousand

years ago. This year they are being held

in Rio, Brazil.

Watermelon is summer's most popular

vegetable. It is part of the cucumber,

pumpkin, and squash family. The average

American eats 15 pounds of watermelon

a year and these juicy favorites are 92

percent water.
