Welcome to April - the name derived from the Latin word
Aperire meaning “to open”; the month when everything starts to bloom and come
alive. What better time to really put forth your best efforts and see the true
beauty inside than the month in which everything begins anew! Diana Ross, in
the Wiz, advises “believe in yourself, right from the start. You'll have
brains; you’ll have a heart; you’ll have courage to last your whole life
through if you believe in yourself.” So let’s put our best foot forward, believe
in ourselves and we can move mountains!
Join us for our April 2015 events in Naples, FL at Juniper
Village at Naples as we pull pranks on April Fool’s Day; honor Jesus Christ on
Good Friday, followed by hiding Easter eggs; celebrate the emancipation of the
Israelites from slavery on Passover; and celebrate mother earth on Earth Day
and Arbor Day. Peruse this month’s calendar as we focus on the brain through
our Daily Brain Builders, Wii tournaments and our Healthy Brain Luncheon. Plan
to join us for any and all events. Also, check out our Healthy Aging Resource
Library to learn more about the brain or any number of health related topics.
We look forward to seeing you during this fun filled month.
