1. TOUCHMARK ON WEST CENTURY
THE{FULL}LIFE
August 2014
Paying tribute to the tradition of
summer weddings
Summer is always the season of weddings. Residents, family, and friends shared memories during a
June Wedding Celebration, which included a display of wedding dresses spanning more than 100 years
and a “reception” with cake, champagne, live music, and dancing. One of the 15 dresses dated back to
1909. The event was covered by two local TV stations, KX and KFYR.

Event unleashes inner artist
Paint brushes stroked the canvases with precision. The
personality of each artist began to emerge with the
painting.
“I’ve never been an artist before and didn’t think I
could do it!” says Clara Braun (pictured), Touchmark
resident, who participated in the Art Uncorked event.
Part of a program run through Theo Art School, the
event is designed to give everyone, no matter their
skill level, an enriching artist experience. Each person
starts with a blank 16-by-20 canvas, and the instructor
walks the group through the steps to create a unique
masterpiece. The group also enjoyed wine and snacks
while painting.
Sharing her delight and echoing other participants, Clara says, “I love the opportunities Touchmark gives me
to keep active and try things I didn’t think I’d ever do.”

Our environment, and how we feel about it,
can have a huge impact on the way we feel.
For many, the first areas that come to mind
when we think of environmental wellness are
things like reducing and conserving energy or
reusing and recycling practices. These areas
should be important to all of us, and they are
areas of focus for Touchmark communities.
Another area to consider is the impact and benefits that house plants have on the environment
and our wellness. Research at Kansas State University (2006, Park, Seong-Hyun) on indoor plants
identified several therapeutic benefits, including reduced stress, lower heart rates and blood
pressure, decreased pain medication, and less fatigue and anxiety. Indoor plants also add color and
brighten mood, moisturize and purify the air, and sharpen focus and attention.
Some Touchmark communities have outdoor gardens, which are also beneficial for your body and
soul. Gardening is considered a moderate to intense form of exercise and uses all three types of
recommended activities—endurance, flexibility, and strength. Gardening also provides people with a
sense of personal well-being through stress relief, education, and the creation of friendships.
Indoors and outdoors, plants offer many benefits. Do you have a green thumb? Would you consider
teaching others how to have a green thumb? Share your thoughts and ideas with your community’s
Life Enrichment/Wellness team. Help us enhance environmental wellness; consider adding indoor
plants to your home environment. If you are interested in a list of safe plants, send me an email at
FullLife@Touchmark.com.
