In the ancient Roman calendar, it was the year’s first month. Be- ginning the year in March actually makes sense because it is when new growth starts after the “dead” of the winter. March’s name comes from martiun, meaning “the month of Mars,” The Anglo-Saxons called the month hyld monath, which means “stormy month,” and hraed monath, meaning “rugged month.” Activity Highlights Bingo: Mon. & Wed. at 2 p.m. Music with Mary: Thurs. at 2 p.m. Trivia & Exercise: Mon. at 10 a.m. Dominoes: Tues. at 10 a.m. Kids Club: Tues. at 10 a.m. Weekends Saturdays: Puzzle Packs Sundays: Church Services at 9 a.m. & 2:45 p.m. Games, puzzles, and relaxation coloring available in the library.

Here are some cool facts about this winter rest: Animals that hibernate include bears, hedgehogs, bats, skunks, bees, frogs, squirrels, snails, turtles and mice. Many animals have a heart rate of just 10 beats per minute while hibernating. Hibernating bats can go up to an hour between breaths. www.activityconnection.com If you or someone you know would like to volunteer to spend time with our residents, we have opportunities for you to share your talents and love with others.
