OLIVEDALE

The driver on the bus

goes “move on back”...

All through the town.

The door on the bus

goes open and closed…

Are you among the many Olivedale groups, day trip or vacation travelers? This is how you can get involved in helping with the purchase of a new bus. On the front cover of the July newsletter a plea went out for donations to purchase a new Olivedale bus. If you have not yet seen the bus poster, visit Olivedale and take a close look at the missing parts. As donations come in, we will build our bus tire by tire, window by window, seat by seat, etc. Our goal is $40,000. If raffles are more your style, we offer another avenue for collecting funds for the bus. Avis Smith has graciously donated a very special quilt for us to raffle off. The presidential quilt has every President from Washington to George W. Bush. Each President’s picture and name is hand stitched. Avis included a hand stitched liberty bell on the reverse side with her name and date. This quilt could be worth thousands of dollars. During every event possible, look for the quilt on display and someone selling raffle tickets. Tickets are $1 or 6 for $5. Tickets can be purchased at the office through November 16, which will be the date of the craft bazaar and the drawing. Remember that Olivedale is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization and your donations are tax deductable.

Dog Days of Summer August, the “dog days” of summer are upon us. Higher outdoor temperatures and moisture laden air, humidity, call for extra caution when venturing outdoors whether for a casual walk, mowing the lawn or working in the garden. The ability to cool off, to disseminate heat becomes less efficient with age as does the ability to retain bodily warmth during the colder months. It is important to keep outdoor exertion to short bouts during the hottest hours of the day. Take breaks, drink water, sit in the shade to avoid heat exhaustion, or worse heat stroke. Heat stroke is a life threatening condition with symptoms of high body temperature, rapid pulse,

difficulty breathing, nausea, light-headedness, dehydration, and fainting, which may be the first sign in older adults. So take precautions with the summer heat and stay cool., stay hydrated and take it easy in the sun! If you suspect heat stroke: move the person into shade.
