Newsletter - September

[Pages:2]Did you know?

The birthstone for September is the sapphire, which is said to reduce inflammation, treat fever and act as a lucky charm for the person wearing it. The sapphire, present in almost every color (rich blue, pink, yellow, green etc.), symbolizes intuition, clarity of thought, peacefulness, as well as loyalty and trust.

? There are three traditional flowers of the month of September: the aster, symbolizing love; the forget-me-not, representing memories and love; and the morning glory, symbolizing unrequited love.

? Special holidays in September include Labor Day (the first Monday in September), the September equinox (September 22nd), National Grandparents' Day (celebrated in the U.S. on the first Sunday after the first Monday of September).

**What's New? We have added a monthly Catholic Mass here at Bickford, every 3rd Friday of the month at 9:30 a.m. with Father Tom Mischler, in the Cozy Corner!

"And all at once, summer collapsed into fall." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Oscar Wilde~

Card Shark Call Out!

Come to the Card Club every Sunday at 3 pm in the Bistro. Gather your friends and play your favorite card games together! Refer to the list of card players (located by the outing sign up across from the activity room) to find your players!

There is a 'suitcase' of card playing supplies, including cards (regular and pinochle), scrap paper for scoring, pencils and card holders for those who have trouble holding the cards, all located in the activity room! Feel free to use these supplies!

Here are a few photos of our sunflower farm adventures with Mary B's!
