July 2018 • IL

From the Executive DirectorDear Residents,We are now in July and the Texas heat is at its peak! This also means that

there is a lot of activity in the warm waters of the Gulf. As we all know from experience, it is extremely important that we plan ahead and have a family emergency plan in place. Will you go and stay with your family or will you ride the storm out in your home? Now is a great time to put together an emergency kit. Include items such as:

Reema Lakhani

Executive Director

Francine Mendez

Business Administrator

Kim Elias

Residency Counselor

Christina Aguilar

Culinary Specialist

Jesse Duenes

Maintenance Director

Jill Saxon

Lifestyles Director

• flash lights• batteries• portable chargers• emergency contact numbers• water

• non-perishable food items• medications • medical records• important documentation

If you are a pet owner, please make sure that you include your pet’s essential items in your emergency kit! Make sure that you have enough food and clean water for your pet. It is also a good habit to have all of their records in one place. And lastly, please make sure that your pet has a proper identification tag.

Remember, you can never be too prepared! Next month, I will also host an emergency preparedness seminar. However, in the meantime, please have these conversations with your families.

As always, if you have specific questions or concerns, you can reach me directly at 281-903-0885 or you can call the front desk and schedule an appointment.

Thank you for calling Landon Ridge your HOME,Reema Lakhani

Our July resident spotlight shines on both Lloyd and Connie Knapp. Lloyd is originally from Sandy, Utah. Although he moved when he was too young to remember any of it, it is his ‘birthplace’. He was drafted into the military in1953. He served 2 years in active duty and 4 years in the Reserves. He studied accounting and later received his law degree from the University of Nebraska. He worked for Caterpillar for 45 years.

Attending the same university was none other than Warren Buffet. They were not only friends but also worked together at the local newspaper in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Connie was born in Cleveland, Ohio, where she lived for most of her life. She held various admin positions while raising 4 sons. They were set up on a blind date in Cleveland which led to be a 2nd marrige for both. They managed to form a wonderful family with 2 sons of Lloyd, 4 sons of Connie and together they have Abraham. WooF!! Abraham seems to know the name of every dog within our community and can sound off whether he is a fan or not.

Golden Nugget Casino Trip July 20th

They first moved here to Sugar Land in ‘93, before settling in Richmond. Last year, they lost everything to Hurricane Harvey, which landed them here, back to Sugar Land.

They’ve traveled to many far places; far too many to name. Please take a minute to say hello to Lloyd, Connie and Abraham. Chances are you’ve been to some of the same places.

New Hula Dancing ActivityThe Landon Ridge Line Dancers have enjoyed

learning the Hula so much that it's been decided we want to continue.

Beginning Wednesday, July 11th, residents will board the community bus at 12:30 pm to travel to the T.E. Harmon Senior Center for Hula lessons with expert instructor, Gloria Chiu.

The Landon Ridge Line Dancers will continue with a separate fitness class for Line Dancing in our gym, and the Hula class at the Senior Center will become a separate outing once a week.

The classes at T.E Harman Senior Center requires each individual resident join the membership for only $10.00 per year, but this membership affords a variety of group classes, trips, and fitness training through their facility.

Please contact Jill Saxon, Lifestyles Director, for more information. Landon Ridge Supports Our Veterans

Have you seen our updated Veterans Wall of Honor in the Cafe, or the new Veterans Directory that Terrilyn Lovell, Lifestyles Associate, recently completed? You should really take a look.

We honor and support our Veterans group, and welcome all residents who have served in the Military to join in our monthly Veterans Lunch outing on the second Friday of each month.

If you are a Veteran and would like to include your photo on our Wall of Honor and Veterans Directory, please leave a message with Concierge for Lifestyles Associates, Jill Saxon and Terrilyn Lovell, or Charley Burch, Resident Volunteer and Veterans Coordinator.

We are happy to announce the City of Sugar Land is bringing their resources to our community.

In June, Lt. Herc Meier and Captain Eric Volkman of the Public Education Department provided pertinent information about Senior Fire Safety and Fall Assistance through the First Responders program.

The event was well-attended. Lt. Meier and Captain Volkmann will be returning to assist with future Resident Fire Drills and Emergency Preparedness events.

Please watch your monthly calendar and daily fliers for more information about upcoming activities.

City of Sugar Land Lends a Helping Hand

Celebrate Our Independence

Independence Day, or the Fourth of July, celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the 13 colonies in 1776, thereby severing their ties to Great Britain.

That historic document was drafted by Thomas Jefferson, with substantial edits made by other members of the Congress. An officially inscribed version was signed by 56 members of the Continental Congress on August 2.

Celebration of the day began during the American Revolution with fireworks and parades, traditions that continue today. The best-known observance takes place in Washington, D.C., and includes a spectacular fireworks display.

Did you know?• A salute of one gun for each state in the United States, called a “salute to the

union,” is fired on Independence Day at noon by any capable military base.• The first week of July is one of the busiest American travel periods of the year,

as many people utilize the holiday for longer vacation trips.
