Flu Prevention Tips Wash hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds (long
enough to sing the "Sesame hand-washing" song twice). Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
Wash, wash, wash my hands,Make them nice and clean!Rub the bottoms and the tops
And fingers in between
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or
sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

The Active Duty Department Military Vol-unteer Program logs hundreds of hourseach month volunteering with various San
Diego organizations such as Feeding America. On Friday, September 4th, the ASYMCA staff spent the morning at Feed-ing America sorting food and building lunch sacks for school children. Feeding America is a San Diego hunger-reliefcharity that hosts our military volunteers a few times a month.
On August 31st, Teradata employeesstuffed 140 backpacks with school supplieswhich were distributed to children just intime for the new school year.
Between Quilt Deliveries for OIF/OEF Veterans, assisting with Yachtfest, and participat-ing in Neighborhood Exchange the San Diego ASYMCA Volunteers at NavalMedical Center helped more that 770 injured and ill at Naval Medical Center. Although
the majority of our volunteers are civilian, many of the active duty men and women intreatment at NMC volunteer their time to the ASYMCA. One way they give back involvescreating personalized Thank You cards for the community organizations that donatetickets, sponsor events, and provide support to our local military.
