1) Most Americans think of Labor
Day as an American Holiday, but
it origins in Canada .
8) The ‘no white clothes after Labor
Day” is actually symbolic to the
uniforms that were worn .
2) Some of the first Labor Day
festivities included “speeches, a
picnic and an abundance of cigar
and beer kegs mounted in every
conceivable place”.
9) The celebration of Labor Day is for
anyone in the workforce .
3) The reason for the observance of
Labor Day was outlines in the
proposal for the holiday “ a street
parade to exhibit to the public the
strength and spirit de corps of the
trades and labor organizations” .
4) Did you know that nobody knows
who actually started Labor Day.
5) The first Labor Day celebration in
the United States can be traced to
New York City’s Union Square
September 5th , 1882.

Virgos are always paying attention to smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them
one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is
left to chance. Virgos are often tender but also very careful.
Virgo is an Earth sign, which prefers conservative and organized things, and those dependent on
them. People born under the Virgo sign have very organized life, and even if they are very messy,
their goals and dreams are put on strictly defined points in their mind.

This is truly a summer to remember and its not over as there is still a few more weeks to go, so stay
cool and drink plenty of fluids.
You have all received a revised copy of the Lease Addendum House Rules Handbook. If you have not
had the chance to return the signature page, please do so as soon as possible as we must have it in
your file.
Let’s talk a bit about smoking and our community…. As you know change is never easy but to ensure
healthier living for everyone, we must be a smoke free community. This means that no resident, no
visitor, no associate will be allowed to smoke on the premises. This may be an inconvenience for
some , but a healthier option for others. The cost to restore a smoker’s apartment is astronomical, in
addition smoke- free housing decreases the threat of fires. We are preparing you for 2017, when we
will ask you to agree to our new policy. If you need help we will assist you in finding a treatment
program. Please know that ALL of United Methodist Communities will be smoke free. Let’s make 2017
a healthy, happy and smoke free year.
Let ‘s welcome our newest resident Mary Hatton-Johnson to our community, where love is always kind
and patient.

Please recycle your garbage
Recycling is very important as waste has a huge
negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful
chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from
rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the
pollution caused by waste. Please place all recycles in
the appropriate container in the trash room .
What to Recycle: Aluminums, Cans, Steel Cans,
Newspaper, Magazines, Cardboard, Paper & Plastics.
What NOT to recycle: Mater ials like pizza boxes, used
paper plates, napkins, paper towels, and jars with food
residue should not be put in a recycling bin. While the
materials themselves are recyclable, once they are
contaminated with food they are useless
Jersey Board Of Election will
be at Covenant Place to
assist the residents with

concerns, please take the

Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a modern woman is
supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful
career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly
divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort
zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a
journey around the world that becomes a quest for selfdiscovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of
nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India,
and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of
true love in Bali
