INSIDE THIS ISSUE

As temperatures rise it is important to practice hot weather safety to avoid possible heat exhaustion, sun burn, or dehydration. Follow these easy tips to help prepare yourself during the hotter days of the summer months. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of liquids. Water, lemonade, juice or other non-caffeinated or alcoholic drinks will aid in keeping you hydrated. Keep a bottle of water on hand or stay near a hydration station when possible. Avoid going outdoors during the hottest part of the day when possible. Going outdoors in the early morning and

the evening rather than in the mid-afternoon will help to avoid the hottest portion of the day. Dress for the weather and for skin protection. Instead of dressing in shorts and short sleeve shirts in the hot months opt for light weight but long-sleeved items to help keep cool and protect the skin from the sun. Be aware of the symptoms of heat related illness. There are many warning signs for heat related problems including skin that is reddening, dizziness, nausea, breathing problems, and rapid heartbeat. Seek help if experiencing these symptoms.

Let Freedom Ring!

Happy Independence Day

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,

that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving

their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem

most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” - Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence signed July 4, 1776
