Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water. • What should you do if you don’t have soap and clean, running water? Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to reduce the number of microbes on them in most situations. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of microbes on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs. Hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy. How do you use hand sanitizers? • Apply the product to the palm of one hand (read the label to learn the correct amount). • Rub your hands together. • Rub the product over all surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are dry. • Article taken from: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/when-how-handwashing.html CLUBS & GROUPS Quilters - Meet each Friday at 10:00 am Red Hat Society - Meet the 3rd Wed. at 11:00 am Sojourn Bears - Meet 4th Monday at 1:00 pm Computer Forum - Each Thursday at 10:00 am Pinochle Group - Each Monday at 9:45 - 12:00 pm Duplicate Bridge - Every Monday at 1:00 pm Coupon Clippers - Meet the 1st Tues at 10:00 am Painters Group - Every Wednesday at 1:00 pm Photography Group - Each 3rd Friday at 11:00 am Veterans’ Group—Meet the 1st Wed. at 1:00 pm Heritage Hikers - Meet at Heritage Park each Sat. at 10:00 am.
