SUMMER HAPPENINGS SUMMER PUZZLE PALOOZA!

Did you know puzzles are an excellent activity for keeping your

brain sharp? When you build puzzles, both sides of your brain

are forced to communicate and work together, thus increasing

cognitive function. You also give your occipital lobe a workout,

which is the part of the brain that matches colors and shapes.

Puzzles challenge your dexterity, spatial reasoning, and logic.

Nothing teaches you to focus and concentrate on a task like

finding the right piece to go into the puzzle! And … puzzles are

just plain fun! Beat the heat, socialize and exercise your brain

with our SUMMER PUZZLE PALOOZA! Join us as we take

on the challenge of Ravensburger’s magnificent 9,000-piece

Underwater Paradise puzzle. The fun continues until the jigsaw

puzzle is completed. You may participate for as much or as

little time as you wish. Hope to see you there!

THE BEST OF BETTE MIDLER STARRING SHERIE RAE PARKER

If you're a fan of the Bette Midler you will LOVE Sherie Rae

Parker. Sherie is a seasoned Las Vegas “Legends in Concert”

showstopper who is not only a spot on look-alike, but also an

impeccable sound-alike with an energy level that electrifies and

exhilarates. Parker’s deliciously eerie similarities to the Divine

Miss M. have resulted in engagements lasting from weeks to

years, taking her from Las Vegas to cities and countries all over

the globe and is currently the #1 Bette Midler impersonator in

the world. Parker says. “Our voices are alike and I try to portray

her with the same energy and humor that Bette displays on

stage, she reaches out and grabs you. With Veterans Day

approaching, you won’t want to miss her sassy rendition of

“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” as she pays tribute to our men and

women in uniform. You’ll also hear more Bette essentials such

as “ Wind Beneath My Wings”, “The Rose”, “Do You Want To

Dance”, “From a Distance”, and “Big Noise From Winnetka”.
