JCHC ANNUAL MEETING AT CRYSTAL PLAZA
The Jewish Community Housing Corporation of Metropolitan New Jersey held their 2016 Annual Board Meeting and Dinner on June 20, 2016 at the Crystal Plaza. This event was made
special by the creative hands of the residents who reside in our communities. Roberta
Zweifler, Committee Chair and board member expressed her gratitude for the residents that helped make
the night a success. On Sunday, June 19, the residents
of Lester, under the guidance of Megan of Arts Unbound, created 14 beautiful floral arrangements for the
tables. Each floral arrangement featured photos of the
residents from all 4 buildings.
The night of the event, the JCHC Choir delighted the crowd with a series of songs, depicting
the day at a summer camp. With the use of baseball caps, tambourines, and dancing the hokey
pokey, the choir encouraged the guests to join in and sing.
Thank you to the JCHC staff for their hard work in making the evening a success!

It's finally here, the summer that we both hate and love.
For, while the temperature is soaring and the hot winds are blowing, delicious mangoes and melons entice as
much as the swimming pool.
The best way to make the most of the season is to be well-prepared for it.
It's the time of the year to nourish your body with seasonal fruit and vegetables that are packed with powerful
nutrients which give moisture to your skin and nourish your body, boosting it to counter the influence of the
heat.
Eat small, frequent meals during the day and make sure you don't skip breakfast, because it prevents low
blood pressure and dizziness during very hot days.
Keep your diet light and refreshing and avoid heavy foods.
Greasy and fatty foods are likely to increase discomfort during the summer because they take a longer time
to digest.
Staying hydrated is essential so drink lots of lemonade and ensure you carry a bottle of water around with
you whenever you are out.
And do wear a hat or use an umbrella to keep the sun's rays off your head.

Greetings from Bryna
Summer is here! Enjoy sitting outside on the patio, or at the various benches scattered
around the property. The landscaper planted some pretty flowers and there is nothing
more relaxing then spending some time outside on a pretty summer day.
If you find yourself spending time outdoors remember to apply sunscreen. The
recommended SPF is 15 or higher; apply it 30 minutes before you leave the house.
You can also protect yourself with a hat or an umbrella. Both will protect your skin and
keep the sun from beating down on your head.
Carolyn has planned some fun trips for the month of July. Please look at the calendar or
the sign- up sheets on the bulletin board, so you can plan accordingly.
Have a wonderful July 4th!
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Our door is always open or you can call me at 973-530-3950.

SUMMERTIME WEATHER CHANGES AND
POTENTIAL DANGERS
Summertime can bring a range of weather
challenges and potential dangers. Some of
these threats can occur with little warning,
so do what you can to prepare by
assembling an emergency kit and forming a plan of
action.
Find out what you should do if faced with the
following weather dangers:
Lightning: In the U.S., lightning kills more
people each year than tornadoes and hurricanes. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance and should seek shelter
in an
enclosed building or vehicle. While
indoors, don't use a corded phone, a computer or other electrical appliances; and avoid
contact with plumbing (don't shower, wash
hands, do laundry, etc.).
Floods: If you have time, move essential
items to an upper floor. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in
water. Do not walk through moving water
that is six inches or higher. If floodwaters
rise around your car, abandon the car and
move to higher ground.
Hurricanes: If you can't evacuate, get inside
and secure external and internal doors. Stay
away from windows and doors and take refuge in a small interior room, closet, or hallway on the lowest level.
Tornadoes: Storm cellars and basements are
the safest locations, but if they aren't
available, go to an interior room, closet, or
hallway on the lowest level. Stay away from
windows, doors, outside walls, and corners.
If you are in a trailer or mobile home, go to a
sturdy, nearby building.
Extreme Heat: Stay indoors as much as possible. Consider spending the hottest part
of the day in an air-conditioned public building, such as a library or shopping mall. Never leave children or pets alone in vehicles.
Wildfires: If your home is threatened by a
wildfire, you must evacuate. If you have time,
bring an emergency kit that includes copies
of important documents.
Earthquakes: If you are indoors, stay away
from windows, doors, and outside walls and
get under a sturdy table or desk. If you are
outside, keep away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. If you're in a moving
vehicle, safely stop the vehicle in an open
area and stay inside.
