WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER! LABOR DAY THOUGHTS September got its name from the Latin word septem, meaning seven. It was the seventh month in the old Roman calendar. September later became the ninth month when the ancient Romans moved the beginning of their year from March 1 to January 1. The theme for the month of September is "Fall"-ing for Activities1'. Here are some of the exciting things we have planned for the month: 2nd Labor Day 5th Catholic Mass at 11:00 a.m. 10th Lunch Outing 16th Scenic Ride 19th Music by Kevin Selecki at 6:00 p.m. 30th Resident Council Meeting If anyone would like a copy of our monthly calendar, there are always extra copies at the front Nurse's Desk. Just ask for one, and we will be happy to help you. WEATHER OR NOT Summer ends and autumn begins at the autumnal equinox, on September 22 or 23 in the northern half of the world. September is one of the warmest months in the southern United States. States farther north have hot days during September, but nights are likely to be cool. September is harvest time for many crops. It is called the "harvest month" in Switzerland. The morrow was a bright September morn; The earth was beautiful as if newborn; There was nameless splendor everywhere, That wild exhilaration in the air, Which makes the passers in the city street Congratulate each other as they meet. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow-There you sit on your lawn My happy, sleepy neighbor; Aren't you glad on Labor Day There isn't any labor?-Shel Silverstein-Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. -Thomas Edison-WELCOME We at Ligonier Gardens would like to take the time to welcome our newest members to our community.
