June Birthdays
In astrology, those born between the 1st and
the 21st of June are Gemini‘s Twins. Geminis
love conversation, and they‘re good at it too!
Witty, intellectual, curious, charming, and
imaginative, they‗re often the life of the party. If
you were born in June between the 22nd and
30th, that makes you a Crab of Cancer. Crabs
are nurturers, dedicated to their home and
family. Gentle and kind, they love storytelling
around the dinner table and enjoy upholding
traditions. Celebrities born in June include:
Andy Griffith (actor) – June 1, 1926

Message from Tamara
Hello! June is upon us and I think this time I
can safely say that summer is here? 
We have our garden in and flowers which I am
sure many of you did when in your own
homes. The only thing; that did not get
planted is the corn - because while cutting the
grass, my daughter Allison ran over the
package! Brianna the youngest is concerned
that our lawn will now have corn growing all
over it!
On June the 2nd I will be attending the Annual
Seniors Convention which is being held in
Wetaskiwin! I will have a booth there to
advertise for Sunrise. If any of you want to
attend and join me at The table you are more
than welcome!
This month we will be welcoming Edna Conlin
as our new receptionist! She will be here fulltime; for the first two months and then half
time following that. She will be the one to
meet all your needs at the front desk.
I also look forward to meeting more of your
families at the family picnic on June 19th.
Again as always- I look forward to serving you
in the coming month of June!

Father‘s DayOver the years As we grow old, We
remember our Father So Brave and
Bold.
In the garden, Leaning on the Plow, He
would listen to me; I see Him now.
He would give advice And understand;
He was always there To lend a Hand.
God made Father‘s; Strong and Firm,
For he knew our lives Would have great
concerns.
So he gave us fathers, To teach us to
pray, And guide our lives and show the
Way.
So on His Day Let‘s take the time To
Say ―Thanks, Dad I‘m glad you‘re Mine.
Men‘s Health Month
Is it the donuts? The
BBQ? The beer?
When it comes to the
proverbial battle of the
sexes, women are
winning when it comes
to their health.
Unfortunately, many men put their health last.
But June is Men‘s Health Month—a time to cast
aside being macho and embrace the advice
medical science has to offer.
Lucky for men, the top threats to their health
aren‘t secret. The leading threat to men‘s health
is cardiovascular disease, the hardening of
arteries that often leads to strokes or heart
attacks. To combat this deadly disease,
commonsense medical advice applies: exercise
at least 30 minutes a day, eat more fruits and
vegetables, get your cholesterol checked, and
stop smoking. Quitting smoking will also reduce
the chance of lung cancer, another leading
threat to men. Another cancer that affects many
men as they age is prostate cancer. Luckily,
most prostate cancers are slow-growing and
unlikely to spread…if caught early. Perhaps one
of the most important decisions a man can
make is to regularly visit a doctor for checkups.
Amazingly, women are 100% more likely to visit
a doctor for an annual checkup than men.
Visiting a doctor is truly the first, and easiest,
step in improving a man‘s health.
Throughout the month of June, people will be
wearing blue in support of men‘s health issues.
For you men out there, June may just be just
the time to try a new hobby or exercise, such as
yoga, weight lifting, tai chi, golf, fishing,
gardening, or woodworking. Even a daily walk
can bring innumerable benefits to both mind and
body. And men don‘t just ignore physical
ailments; they often ignore mental or
psychological ailments, too. Activities that
exercise the body also reduce stress and
provide a social outlet. June 21 is Father‘s Day,
but it may also be a great day to schedule a
doctor‘s appointment.
