Keep Hydrated!
With the onset of warmer weather, the risk of dehydration increases. Here are a few tips that may help you stay hydrated this summer:
#1) Put a bottle of water in different parts of your house, so no matter where you are, it is easy to have a sip.
#2) Stay away from beverages with high sugar-content. If you prefer flavored beverages to plain water, add lemon or a fruit infusion.
#3) Eat plenty of foods with high water-content. Watermelon is an obvious choice (each bite you take of watermelon is 92% water!), but there are plenty of other options. Try these:
* Grapefruit (91% water)
* Blueberries (85% water)
* Bananas (74% water)
* Tomatoes (94% water)
* Carrots (87% water)
* Bell Peppers (91% water)
* Cucumbers (96% water)

Ice Cream Social and Western Movie Lecture
There are two special reasons to join us for lunch next Monday, March 28, 2016!
Mike Davis will be here to give a Western Movie lunchtime lecture -- an introduction to the class he has taught here at Camden for years. Mike grew up in Studio City, and he'll tell us all about the old-time Western movie actors and directors who were his friends and neighbors.
Following our lunch and after Mike's talk, we'll open up the ice cream buffet, and everyone will have the opportunity to make a customized sundae! Yum!
Call (408) 371-2888 to make a reservation for this super-great luncheon!
