A Note from the Executive Director
Greetings to all Residents, Families and Friends:
I hope this note finds you well and in good spirits. I was wondering
if anyone else is asking themselves where January 2016 went? WOW
how it flew by...I guess that is what happens when you are busy doing
what you love to do.
I want to thank everyone for reading the newsletter and calendar.
Please feel free to provide us with any feedback. I also would like to
ENCOURAGE you to attend the Resident Council Meeting the last
Friday of each month after entertainment.
A Huge Thank you

Ingredient of the Month
Cauliflower
Cauliflower has a delightfully fresh flavor and a satisfying
crunch. One of its best nutritional aspects is the high daily value
of vitamin C it delivers in one serving - an impressive 77%.
Cauliflower is also a good source of vitamin K, protein, thiamin,
riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, and phosphorus, and a very good
source of fiber, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, 303 milligrams
of potassium, and manganese.
The ‘brainy’-looking cauliflower heads contain numerous
phytonutrients, such as indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane that
may help prevent prostate, ovarian, and cervical cancers.
Thank you to Our Encompass Home Health and
Hospice Team for joining our Health Fair Block Party!
Happy 102 Birthday to our lovely
Mrs. Kramer
The History Behind Black History Month
We owe much of our greater understanding of black
history to Carter G. Woodson. Born to former slaves,
Woodson worked hard and against the tide of prejudice
to obtain his own education. In earning his doctorate
from Harvard, Woodson was disturbed to find that
during his studies, history books virtually ignored the
black American population. So he decided to take on
the challenge of writing black Americans into the history
books.
He established the Association for the Study of Negro
Life and History (now called the Association for the
Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and a
year later founded the widely respected Journal of Negro
History. Then in 1926, he launched Negro History Week,
the precursor to Black History Month, as an initiative
to bring national attention to the contributions of black
people throughout American history.
February was chosen as Black History Month for the
significant events and people who figured prominently
in black American history. For example:
• Feb. 23, 1868: Civil rights leader and co-founder of
the NAACP, W.E.B. DuBois, was born.
• Feb. 3, 1870: The 15th Amendment was passed,
granting blacks the right to vote.
• Feb. 25, 1870: The first black U.S. senator, Hiram R.
Revels (1822-1901), took his oath of office.
• Feb. 12, 1909: The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People was founded by a
group of concerned black and white citizens in New
York City.
• Feb. 1, 1960: A group of black Greensboro, North
Carolina, college students began a sit-in at a segregated
Woolworth’s lunch counter. The event marks a
watershed moment in the civil-rights movement.
