As stated in every calendar in the Policies and
Procedures for Recreation Group,
 If you are SICK, please skip the event.
No one wants to catch what you have!
This means if you are coughing, sneezing, vomiting, have a fever (or had one in the last 24
hours), you need to NOT attend the activity. If a
PLAN staff member feels that you are sick and
ask you not to attend, please understand that we
are only looking out for the group as a whole.
Here are some ways to help stay healthy
during Cold and Flu season:
 Wash your hands frequently, especially after
blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing
 Avoid sharing objects
 Cover mouth and nose when coughing and
sneezing, preferably use a tissue and dispose of
it immediately and properly
 Get enough sleep and avoid getting “run down”
 Eat right and get regular exercise
 If you are sick, stay home and recover

Meeting at D&B’s (11775 Commons Dr, Tri County ComRosa Parks
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks, an African-American
seamstress, left work and boarded a bus for home. As the bus became crowded,
the bus driver ordered Parks to give up her seat to a white passenger. Montgomery's buses were segregated, with the seats in the front reserved for "whites only."
Blacks had to sit at the back of the bus. But if the bus was crowded and all the
"whites only" seats were filled, black people were expected to give up their seats—
a black person sitting while a white person stood would never be tolerated in the
racist South. Rosa had had enough of such humiliation, and refused to give up her
seat. "I felt I had a right to stay where I was," she said. "I wanted this particular driv-

er to know that we were being treated unfairly as individuals and as a people." The
bus driver had her arrested.
Martin Luther King, Jr., heard about Parks's brave defiance and launched a boycott
of Montgomery buses. The 17,000 black residents of Montgomery pulled together
and kept the boycott going for more than a year. Finally, the Supreme Court intervened and declared segregation on buses unconstitutional. Rosa Parks and the
boycotters defeated the racist system, and she became known as "the mother of
the civil rights movement."

A cyclone transports Dorothy, a young Kansas girl,
and her dog, Toto, to magical Munchkin Land. Unfortunately, they land right on top of the Wicked
Witch of the East! As Dorothy and
Toto head down the Yellow Brick
Road to find the Wizard and their
way back home to Kansas, they
meet new friends, each with a wish
that they hope The Great Oz can grant for them. A scrawny
Scarecrow needs a brain, a rusty Tin Man needs a heart, and
a Cowardly Lion needs courage. February 18th
Step into the south and celebrate spring on the bayou! The 2017 Spring
Show Blooms on the Bayou is inspired by the colorful culture of New Orleans,
which features both a fun, festive side of the ‘Big Easy’ as well as the eerie, yet
enchanting, swampy southern bayou. Wander down our bayou boardwalk in
the midst of bald cypress trees, blossoming bog lilies, and Spanish moss to
explore the mysterious river shack or dance to some Dixieland jazz in the traditional New Orleans courtyard surrounded by Crepe Myrtle and Magnolia
trees glittered with beads! Hundreds of vibrant annuals animate this display
with charming camellias, dazzling tulips, fragrant hyacinths, and illustrious
ferns of the French Quarter. So sit back, take it easy, and let this display take
you away to the warm southern spring of the Louisiana bayou!
