In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commem- orates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. In 1916, the president of the United States issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday. Perhaps the oldest continuing Flag Day parade is in Fairfield, Washington in 1909 or 1910, Fairfield has held a parade every year and a "Centennial" parade in 2010.

• By keeping your apartment floor free of clutter. You reduce the number of trips or falls by more than half.
• Always get up slowly after sitting or lying down. Take your time and make sure you have your balance.
• Leave a light on in your bathroom at night.
• Live an active lifestyle.
• Eat healthy food & drink water.
• Move around during the day. Mild exercise can make muscles strong and improve body balance and coordination, which in turn would help in averting falls.

Treating hearing loss with the use of hearing aids can be a very important step towards delaying or preventing dementia. We recommend that anyone experiencing hearing loss, or for a loved one, to take the important first step in addressing the issue by

scheduling an appointment for a complimentary hearing consultation. Hearing loss has many causes, symptoms and effects when untreated over time. In fact, well over 30 million Americans, of all ages, report having some degree of hearing loss. Many of these people could reconnect themselves to the sounds they love if they chose to use hearing aids. Our goal is to help anyone who feels they may be experiencing the negative impact of hearing loss in their daily life take the first step. --Patrick is here at our Bickford Branch every second Tuesday of the month at 8:30 a.m. Stop in and visit with him or give him a call.
