and the outlook is hot and dry. It is important to practice Summer Safety and protect yourself not just from sunburns, but from dehydration. With our higher temperatures HYDRATION is key to enjoying a fun, active lifestyle during the summer months. During warm weather, it is recommended that we drink EIGHT 8-oz glasses of water daily. Fluids are vital to our bodys functions as they aid in metabolism, regulate body temperature, prevent constipation and hydrate cells in the body to function optimally. When the body is NOT properly hydrated, our organs have to work harder. The body then tries to create fluids by breaking down muscle tissue which is not ideal for maintaining overall good health. SoBOTTOMS UP! Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go, including bus trips to shopping and medical appointments. Enjoy fruit and keep popsicles on hand as a cool and tasty way to get more fluids. To make the most of our summer months, avoid Peak Heat hours when exercising outsideremember to walk during the early mornings or later in the evenings. Some people think about sun protection only when they spend a day at the beach or pool. But sun exposure adds up day after day, every time you are in the sun. So Slip! Slop! Slap! and Wrap to protect yourself from UV rays: Slip on a shirt, Slop on sunscreen, Slap on a hat and Wrap on sunglasses to protect the eyes and sensitive skin around them. These steps provide the best sun protection when used together. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using products with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 30. The SPF number represents the level of protection against UVB rays the sunscreen provides. Theres a lot going on at Fellowships Square this summer, both indoors and out, so keep your body hydrated, practice sun safety and enjoy a healthy and fun summer!

FELLOWSHIP SQUARE-TUCSON
An enormous number of residents have requested another quizactually the number is five or six. But they said that these little quizzes make us think & remember. Sometimes a quiz is fun if a teacher doesnt record the score. Todays quiz is modeled on an old radio program that most of us remember as The $64 Question. The game started with a question worth $1.00 and doubled with each question up to $64 dollars, with each question being a little harder than the previous. Lets give it a go now. Put on your thinking caps and try this for $1.00: ________ Abraham Lincoln began a speech by saying, Four score and seven years ago. Write the date he was referring to in the blank. _________(For $2) The name of the American sea captain who once boldly said, I have not yet begun to fight when he was ordered to surrender. _________(For $4) Date when the Declaration of Independence was signed. _________(For $8) Initials for the person who was President of the United States when the Korean War was beginning. _________(For $16) In 1607, the first permanent colony was established in an area that became a state. Name the state. _________(For $32) In 1917, an American president declared war against an enemy to, as he said, To make the world safe for Democracy. Name that President. Now for the big one. Youll have to remember reading this in a comic strip, not a history book. But it is a wise saying none-the-less. For $64.00: _________What character wisely said, We have met the enemy, and he is us! How did you do? Whether you did well or not, we encourage you to visit the library and brush up on some of these things. Who knows, you might get on a quiz program that pays better than a measly $64!
