CINCO DE MAYO

Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on May 5th.

The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's

difficult victory over the French Empire at the Battle of

Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General

Ignacio Zaragoza. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has

taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico. In Tucson,

Cinco de Mayo is a favored tradition. This year at The

Fountains we celebrate on May 6, starting the day at 8:00

a.m. with a huge Cinco de Mayo Breakfast on the Festive

Catalina Patio with our favorite Mariachi group. Please

come and start your day on a high note and a delicious

breakfast!

EXPRESSION YOURSELF!

OLDER AMERICANS MONTH

When Older Americans Month was established fifty six years ago

in 1963, there were only 17 million living Americans who had

reached their 65th birthday. Today that number is over 46 million.

Each year The Older Americans Administration creates a theme to

celebrate throughout the

month. This year it

is Connect, Create &

Contribute. Every day

here at The Fountains

there are various ways to

connect, create and

contribute, all while

staying engaged and

active in the community.

Attention all residents! Calling

all residents! “Expressions 2020

Calendar” is a chance to enter

your artwork in a competition to

represent The Fountains in the

Watermark Communities

calendar. This award winning

annual calendar features art by

residents of Watermark

communities nationwide.

Now is your chance to connect

with your “artist within” and

express your creative self! We

will be hosting an exhibit of

recently completed works in

June. So, listen up painters, woodworkers, knitters, crafters,

sculptors, quilters and other artists, let’s get creative together.

Please limit your entries to two works of art. Your work will be

exhibited in our Main Hall Gallery as well as the Card Room. See

Abbie or Joanne for more information.

LIVING WELL

In many ways, our memories shape who

we are. They make up our internal

biographies—the stories we tell

ourselves about what we've done with

our lives. They tell us who we've

touched during our lives, and who has

touched us. Our memories are an

integral part of who we are as human

beings. That means age-related memory

loss may represent a loss of self. It also

affects the practical side of life, like

getting around the neighborhood or

remembering how to contact a loved

one. It's not surprising that concerns

about declining thinking and memory

skills rank among the top fears we have

as we age.

What causes some people to lose their

memory while others stay sharp as a

tack? Genes do play a role, but so do

choices. Proven ways to protect memory

include following a healthy diet,

exercising regularly, not smoking, and

keeping blood pressure, cholesterol, and

blood sugar within the recommended

parameters. Living a mentally active life

is also important. Just as muscles grow

stronger with use, mental exercises help

to keep mental skills and memory in

“tone”.

The activities with the most impact on

memory are those that challenge you to

go beyond what is easy and comfortable.

Learning a new language, volunteering,

and other activities that engage your

brain are most effective and are offered

daily in our community.

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.
