N U R S E S N O T E S W I T H LY N N S Z W E D A WORLDS ALZHEIMER’S MONTHWEDNESDAYS ARE DEDICATED TO BREAST CANCER MONTH. Every Wednesday make sure you wear your pink to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here are a few facts to get you more aware of breast cancer:
• STATISTICS SHOW that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lifetime; which is the most common type cancer diagnosed in women. This disease is the second leading cause of cancer death in US women. Since this is an issue that affects all of us, this October we are working with the National Breast Cancer Foundation® to help make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
• ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, early detection is still the best and most effective defense against this disease. When breast cancer is found early, in the localized stage, the 5 year survival rate is 98%. The best ways to be proactive are self breast exams, clinical exams with your doctors, your clinical breast exams and mammograms based on your age and health history.
• THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT BREAST CANCER is to have a plan that helps you detect the disease in its early stages. Create your Early Detection Plan at www.earlydetectionplan.org to receive reminders to do breast self-exams, and schedule your clinical breast exams and mam-mograms based on your age and health history.

Being less than 5 miles from the Notre Dame Campus, it is only fair to say we are die hard Irish fans. We would like you to come join the fun with us as we tailgate for the Notre Dame vs Stanford foot-ball game. Dress in your best Irish gear or wear your favorite college jersey. We are ready to cheer and drink beer, root beer that is. To get you prepared, here is the Irish fight song. We can’t wait to see you here for fun and football.
RALLY SONG OF NOTRE DAME:Rally sons of Notre Dame
Sing her glory and sound her fame, Raise her Gold and Blue
And cheer with voices true: Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
We will fight in every game, Strong of heart and true to her name
We will ne’er forget her And will cheer her ever Loyal to Notre Dame
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame, Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high, Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small Old Notre Dame will win over all, While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
Please present coupon at time

Summertime has come and go The leaves will soon be falling. Take a walk down memory lane as we show you the fun we had this summer at Woodridge Assisted Living.
WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE F U N A P P L E C R A F T S : Fall is a great for apple crafts since fall is when apples come into season!
• Did you know that when you cut an apple in half, it can make a star shape? Set the apple right side up on the cutting board and then cut right in the middle below where the stem is. Once the apple is cut in half, remove the seeds, and you will have a star. Dip the apple into some paint and then press the apple onto construction paper to make some fun star designs.
• Take some brown construction paper and tear it into pieces. Then glue it onto a piece of white construction paper in the shape of a tree. Take a small sponge and dip the edge of it into green paint. Dab it onto the branches to make leaves. Then, using red paint, dip the pad of your index finger into red paint and place “apples” all over the tree.
• Draw the shape of an apple on a piece of red construction paper. Cut out the apple. Then about an inch away from the edge of the apple, cut out the center. Glue all around the edges and place a piece of tissue paper or cellophane over the glue. Press to make sure it sticks. Then trim around the edges. Add a stem by gluing a piece of pipe cleaner at the top and you have a stained glass apple!
