THE PUBLISHING CLUB

WEAVING: AN ARTISTIC TALENT

Weaving is a method of fabric or textile production. It consists of

the intertwining two

separate yarns or threads

at right angles to form a

fabric or cloth. Join Cho

Doll, a talented weaver,

and learn basic types of

weaving. Class meets

every Tuesday at 10:00

am in the Art Room.

Congratulations to Sylvia

Brandfon on the publication of

her novel: The Lone Blond by

S.M. Moeller (pen name), a

family saga about a man on a

mission. Kirkus reviews wrote

that the novel "probes the

complexities of race in the

American Southwest....images of

surprising beauty...."Available

on Amazon.com.

Congratulations also to Lorna

Garrod on the publication of her

novel Maps, available on

Amazon.com. It is a story of a

young woman working on map restoration and sales who yearns

for adventure and an FBI agent who helps her find it.

The Publishing Club, a new club at the Fountains, was created for

published authors and soon-to-be published authors and will

provide resources and support for publishing and promoting

books; it is led by Sylvia Barandfon, with tech support provided by

Ricky Garrett. They will meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month

at 1pm in the Cactus Room.

LIVING WELL

Here in Tucson we enjoy 300+ days of

sunshine annually. All that ultraviolet

exposure adds up. We experience the

most UV exposure in our 60's and

beyond. As a result, the chances of

developing skin cancer increase as we

age. Not exactly what you want to think

about when stepping outside for a walk

around our beautiful campus!

In our senior years, there are steps you

can take to prevent damage and protect

yourself from prolonged exposure to the

sun’s harmful rays.

Wear sunscreenWear sunscreen. Apply the right kind

and the right amount of sunscreen. Look

for sunscreen labeled “broad

spectrum", with an SPF of at least 15.

For extended outdoor activities SPF 30

is recommended. Apply sunscreen 20

minutes prior to going outside.

Examine your skinExamine your skin. Check your body

head-to-toe every month. Look for new

moles or spots that look

different. Schedule a yearly skin check

with your healthcare professional.

Cover upCover up. Covering up will further

protect your skin from the sun. Long

pants and long-sleeved shirts made out

of breathable fabrics are good options.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat that covers

your entire head, ears. Wear UV-blocking

sunglasses to keep your face and eyes

safe, too.

Protect your skin all year round. Sun

safety is especially important for

us desert dwellers!

The foundation of Watermark University (WU) is to provide meaningful opportunities to learn, teach and grow,

resulting in a life of overall well-being. Research shows that learning and keeping our mind active and sharp

supports healthy aging.

At Watermark Retirement Communities we are committed to encouraging our residents and associates to lead

balanced lives, full of meaning and purpose, grounded in self-awareness and infused with curiosity, our

Watermark University courses help achieve this goal. By focusing on the Seven Dimensions of Well-being:

Physical, Social, Intellectual, Spiritual, Emotional, Environmental, and Vocational we offer the opportunity to

achieve a balanced life and we see the benefits across the country in every class, every day.
