You MAY Be Celebrating Some Of These Holidays This Month

Here's our wish for you: MAY you have a wonderful month of MAY! There are several holidays this month that are noteworthy. As we patiently wait for the flowers and trees to bloom, at least we have these holidays to give us reasons to celebrate this month.

May 5th - Cinco De Mayo

Translates from Spanish to“the fifth of May”, this is a national holiday in Mexico and is celebrated by many

people in the US as well. This day celebrates the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, where the Mexican army defeated the French in an unlikely victory.

May 12th - Mother’s Day 

Mother’s Day is celebrated in America as a day to honor our mothers. Whether a biological mother or a motherly figure, celebrate the women in your life that helped you grow and showed you the love of a mother.

May 15th - Police Officer’s Memorial Day 
Police Officer’s Memorial Day is a day to honor all police officers who have been killed or injured in the line of duty. Recent research shows that 140-160 officers are killed in the line of duty each year. That is a lot of fathers, brothers, sisters and mothers not returning to their families each year. Let’s show our support and respect to our local officers this day and every day for the sacrifice they make for us.

May 18th - Visit Your Relatives Day

Family can be a source of joy and frustration, sometimes at the same time! But they are often the ones that are there for you through thick and thin. So, on this day, show your appreciation for your family and spend some quality time with them.

May 27th - Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a U.S. holiday remembering the U.S. men and women who died during military service. All U.S. federal flags are flown at half staff today in honor of those who gave their lives for our country. Many local cemeteries will be having Memorial Day services typically hosted by local VFW’s or American Legions.

Pink Power

The staff at Salem Green is joining the battle against breast cancer by participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on May 12 at the Mall of America.  Julie and Janelle are walking in solidarity with Sara, a co-worker at our Lexington Heights apartment community, who is celebrating her five years as a breast cancer survivor.

If you would like to help in the effort to find a cure for breast cancer, consider joining the Salem Green staff by making a donation at the team's web page here: http://www.active.com/donate/komentc13/EMaltby5. We greatly appreciate and are thankful for any help you can give.

Fighting Cabin Fever When Winter Doesn't Know When To Quit

Is winter ever going to end? Considering it’s the middle of April and snow is yet again in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow, who knows! Don’t let the winter blues get you down, Salem Green has many fun amenities on-site or nearby. Head to the Rec building for a dip in the indoor pool, or warm up in the sauna. A jog on the treadmill in the exercise room will help boost your happy endorphins, making for not only a happier you but a healthier one too. If you’re just not feeling up to all the physical activities, stop by the office and rent a DVD for only a $1.

Plus, not far from Salem Green, in West St. Paul there is a huge indoor sports facility located at 1655 Livingston Ave. They have open walking and running around the dome Monday-Friday 7:00 AM-3:30PM. Or, instead of running or walking, you can shake the cabin fever blues off with some dancing at the Cinema Ballroom Dance Studio in St. Paul. They have a very active calendar full of group classes for all levels of ability.

We're not far from the end of Winter, although it is sometimes hard to believe. But, we're only a short time away from seeing beautiful spring blooms on the trees and bushes and flower beds at Salem Green.
