What does Christmas mean to you?
"Going to Church and visiting with family
and friends!"
~Resident, June Jaroszynski
"Decorating the tree and making Christmas cookies!"
~Resident, Ellie Buller
Where has 2019 gone? I can't believe we will be entering into 2020
soon and hopefully with you all trying some new and exciting
Watermark University Classes! Please join us on Friday, December
27 from 1:00-3:00pm for our Watermark University Registration Day.
We will have our Spring Catalog available for you to see all the
great classes we will be offering for the next couple of months. We
will also be having a cooking demonstration with our Chef Ray,
followed by a New Year's Celebration with music by Mike and Tom,
along with some refreshments.
If you are interested in teaching a class next semester,
please call Gina at 815/477-6582.

The Gardens
The Fountains Team has a
great plan for helping
everyone THRIVE! as the
Christmas season
approaches. Please make
plans to attend our Holiday
Open House on Saturday,
December 14th, from 1:00
until 3:00pm. Our Residents
and family members will be able to THRIVE! while taking photos
with Santa and Mrs. Claus, between 1:00 and 2:00pm, in the
lounge. The festivities will continue with refreshments and music
by Larry Breidenbach, from 2:00 until 3:00pm, in the main dining
room. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Open House, to
enjoy quality time together and remind ourselves to appreciate the
'reason for the season!' Thank you for helping us all to THRIVE!
Merry Christmas,
Amy Dunn, Executive Director
MerryChristmas! During the holiday season, we all get so
busy, we tend to forget about our
health. Try to take a few minutes each
day to relax. Close your eyes, take a few
deep breaths, and just let it go. Taking
care of your emotional health is equally
important as taking care of your physical
health! Also with the holiday, comes all
those great goodies and desserts. Just
remind yourself that studies have shown
(honestly!), it's okay to indulge in a treat
once in a while, just in moderation. In
fact, an apple pie has half the calories of
a pecan pie and turkey contains fewer
calories than ham. Some great things to
think about when planning your holiday
meal this year! If you want more
information, come join Nurse Lynn on
Wednesday, December 11 at 1pm, in the
lounge, for a presentation on, "Healthy
Eating during the Holiday Season."
Path to Well-Being
Watermark is always excited to see their Residents Thriving! in their
everyday lives, but they are also excited to see their employees Thriving! as
well. Here at the Fountains at Crystal Lake, we would like to announce Amy
Dunn as our new Executive Director! Amy has been with Watermark for
20 years, as the Program Director and is very excited to step up to the new
role as Executive Director. Amy is married to her loving husband, Bill for
22 years and they have 2 wonderful daughters, Ella and Abigail. She enjoys
baking, walking, and being active here in the community. Amy's door will
always be open, if you ever have any questions, concerns, or even
compliments. She looks forward to dedicating herself to all of the
residents, family members and employees! Welcome Amy and we can't
wait to see what you have planned for the future here at the Fountains!
