Connections Special Days and Holidays Imagine a month with no holidays–no national holiday with parades and picnics and no special occasions that call for Hallmark cards and flower bouquets. Can you envision not celebrating a single holiday from the first to the 31 st ? Welcome to August! At Mt. Carmel Community, we love to celebrate with friends and family, so we decided to explore some of the more obscure celebrations that take place in August. If you are from Middleton, Wisconsin, the home of the National Mustard Museum, you might celebrate and honor one of the world’s oldest and most widely enjoyed condiments on “Mustard Day,” August 2 nd . If you or a family member served in the U.S. Coast Guard, you might wish to commemorate its 225 th birthday on August 4 th . If you are left-handed you might have fun with International Left-Handers Day on August 13 th where righties are encouraged to discover what it’s like to do everything backward! We considered all of these special days and more before deciding to celebrate the sun and sand of Hawaii! This month marks the 56 th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. You’ll enjoy the summer fun activities that we have planned for you in August! Won’t you join us? Mt. Carmel “The Pinnacle of Senior Living” AUGUST 2015 Looking for Refreshment? If these long, hot summer days have you looking for more refreshment, consider joining us each weekday morning for our Daily Devotional in the Private Dining Room. In Psalm 23 David says, in reference to God, “He refreshes my soul”. Come start your day in a more refreshing way!
