I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you making Cross Creek Apartments a great community to live in!
As the summer season begins to approach and the sweltering heat has no forgiveness, here are a few helpful hints to protect yourself when out and about!
***Dress for the heat. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect away some of the sun's energy. It is also a good idea to wear hats or to use an umbrella.
***Drink water. Carry water or juice with you and drink continuously even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate the body. Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician.
***Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid high-protein foods, which increase metabolic heat.
***Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually in the morning between 4 and 7 a.m.
***Stay indoors when possible. If air-conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine. Remember that electric fans do not cool, they simply circulate the air.
***Be a good neighbor. During heat waves, check in on elderly residents in your neighborhood and those who do not have air conditioning.

Lock Safety Checks
To protect yourself, your family and your property, take a moment to check all of the window and door locks in your home to ensure they are in working order. If a lock seems broken or loose, please report it to our office immediately so that we can take care of it for you!
We have seen our first few days of the hot season... Stop by the office EVERY Friday during June for a treat sure to subdue the heat! We will be handing out frozen popsicles to help you beat the heat!

Fireworks Safety Tips
As the July 4th holiday approaches, we know fireworks are on the mind! Please note that the discharge of fireworks is not allowed in our community. If you choose to celebrate elsewhere, please make a note of the following safety tips to enjoy the holiday responsibly.
- Use fireworks outdoors only.
- Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them.
- Always have water handy. (A hose or bucket).
- Only use fireworks as intended. Don't try to alter them or combine them.
- Never relight a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
- Use common sense. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter and the shooter should wear safety glasses.
- Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Have a "designated shooter."
- Only persons over the age of 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type.
- Do not ever use homemade fireworks of illegal explosives: They can kill you! Report illegal explosives to the fire or police department in your community.
