CLOTHING DRIVE

We are so pleased to host another Clothing Drive through

Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our fall drive begins Monday,

10/2. We will be collecting your donations in the front

lobby through Thursday, 10/19. This is the best way to pare

down your clothing and make a difference!

The exciting part about this program is not only does Big

Brothers Big Sisters benefit from the clothing drive, but the

participating organizations also get paid! We will be

donating the proceeds from the drive to Watermark for

Kids, a non profit that empowers underserved

children. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

LIVING WELL

Watermark Retirement Communities are

proud to participate in National Breast

Cancer Awareness Month. Other than

skin cancer, breast cancer is the most

common cancer among American

women. About 1 in 8 women born today

in the United States will get breast

cancer at some point. Each year in the

United States, more than 200,000

women get breast cancer. Men also get

breast cancer, but it is not very common.

Most breast cancers are found in women

who are 50 years old or older. The good

news is that many women survive breast

cancer if it’s found and treated early.

Many breast cancer symptoms are

invisible and not noticeable without a

professional screening, but some

symptoms can be caught early just by

being proactive about your breast

health. Getting mammograms regularly

can lower the risk of dying from breast

cancer. The United States Preventive

Services Task Force recommends that if

you are 50 to 74 years old, be sure to

have a screening mammogram every

two years.

Talk to your health care provider about

your risk for breast cancer, especially if a

close family member of yours has had

breast or ovarian cancer. Your provider

can help you decide which preventive

measures best meet your needs.

"Believe there is a hope for a cure"

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.
