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.
