It's National Dessert Day! π No need to count the calories. Go ahead and treat yourself and satisfy that SWEET TOOTH! What's YOUR favorite (guilt-free) sweet treat? π π°π§π©
Each year, SilverCrest Properties, LLC, hosts a picnic for all employees. This year, because of Covid-19, we had to be creative. Each campus planned their own picnic (socially distanced) courtesy of SilverCrest. Shorewood invited True Smoke BBQ for lunch, and we celebrated staff members who have been at Shorewood for 20+ years. We also had fun games and lots of prizes!

October 13- Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. π
Metastatic breast cancer is an aggressive, Stage IV form of the disease that has spread outside of the breasts. It generally starts as early breast cancer before spreading- which is why early detection and treatment is important. In 2017, a study from the National Cancer Institute shows that metastatic breast cancer cases are increasing in number, with 150,000 new cases of MBC in the U.S.

Minnesota legislature recently passed a bonding bill to further fund Cascade Lake Park. The improvements included the addition of a pavilion, restrooms, an amphitheater, art, a fishing pier and landscaping. This bill coupled with another investment from state and local funding totals $5 million.
The first phase of the park was made possible with the generous $2 million donation from the Wedum Foundation, the non-profit that owns Shorewood.

β€οΈ February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness of heart disease, which is the #1 killer of Americans.
β€οΈ This year's heart month is especially important, as it becomes evident that COVID-19 can negatively affect the heart and vascular system's overall health. The good news is that in most cases, heart disease is preventable!
Reduce your risk of heart disease by: not smoking or quitting smoking, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, treating high blood pressure, getting 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, and attending regular check ups!
