A Note From Tara!February is a

short month, butwe aren’t lettingthat slow us down!Aubrey has beenbusy coordinating

a fun-filled month packed with avariety of new events as well assome old favorites.

We will start off with a SuperBowl watch party (sorry, Cowboysfans ... maybe next year!), dancethe night away just ahead ofValentine’s Day, and Chef Bill andhis team will work their artistrywith an elegant Valentine’s nightdinner. We will toss a few beadsfor Mardi Gras, host our FirstAnnual Chili Cook-Off, and learnabout wine and chocolate pairingsfrom our friends at ChocolateSecrets. We’ll round out the monthwith our Second Annual OscarParty. You are welcome to wearyour Red Carpet Best, but it iscertainly not required to attendthis star-studded event.

As always, we encourage you toinvite your family and friends toany (or all) of the events on ourcalendar! Most require an RSVP,so please call the Concierge tomake your reservations today.Aubrey will provide more detailsas the Chili Cook-Off gets closer. Ifor one, can’t wait to cast my vote!

As our community grows, our

transportation calendar gets busierand busier. We are increasing ourservice hours, but need to ask thatyou please be respectful of thescheduling process. Thetransportation works mostsmoothly when appointments arescheduled with the Concierge atleast 48 hours in advance. To runmost efficiently, we also ask thatyou not add destinations to yourtrip once you have left thecommunity. Trips are scheduledbased on the estimated time oftravel to and from your scheduleddestination. If the driver is askedto make additional stops, thisdelays the remaining day’sappointments. If you havequestions about this process orneed further clarification, pleasefeel free to speak with Aubrey orme.

Thank you for making BelmontVillage your home and as always,it’s our pleasure to serve youeach day!

Heart AttackWarning Signs

Some heart attacks are suddenand intense, the “movie heartattacks,” where no one doubtswhat’s happening. However, mostheart attacks start slowly, withmild pain or discomfort. Oftenpeople affected aren’t even surewhat’s wrong and wait too longbefore getting help. Here are somesigns that could indicate a heartattack.

• CHEST DISCOMFORT—Most heart attacks involvediscomfort in the center ofthe chest that lasts more thana few minutes, or that goesaway and comes back. It canfeel like uncomfortablepressure, squeezing, fullnessor pain.

• DISCOMFORT IN OTHERAREAS OF THE UPPERBODY—Symptoms caninclude pain or discomfort inone or both arms, the back,neck, jaw or stomach.

• SHORTNESS OF BREATH—with or without chestdiscomfort.

• OTHER SIGNS—may includebreaking out in a cold sweat,nausea or lightheadedness.

As with men, women’s mostcommon heart attack symptom ischest pain or discomfort. Butwomen are somewhat more likelythan men to experience some ofthe other symptoms, particularlyshortness of breath,nausea/vomiting, and back orjaw pain.

Learn the signs, but rememberthis: Even if you’re not sure it’s aheart attack, have it checked out.Minutes Matter!
