Preventing Skin Cancer with Sun Screen
Did you know that there are more than 1 million cases of skin cancer diagnosed in the U.S. each year? To minimize your risk, apply and reapply your sun screen whenever you are outside — even on non-sunny days. This will protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun!
Don’t forget the sunscreen. May 27 is National Sun Screen Day!
To commemorate National Sun Screen Day, we couldn’t touch 1 million people, but we could reach one of the highest at-risk groups — young lifeguards.
Earlier this week, the Articulon team spent time with the staff and volunteers at Raleigh’s Optimist Pool. We toured the facility and donated a boat load of sun screen. What’s more, there are approximately 400 lifeguards working across Wake County to ensure your safety. Parks and Rec offers three year-round and six seasonal pools for citizens to enjoy.
Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department encourages, provides, promotes and protects quality leisure, recreation and cultural opportunities, facilities and environments.

What better way to kick off Friday the 13th than to celebrate one of America’s favorite games—SCRABBLE!
Today, April 13, is National Scrabble Day.
Did you know that Scrabble is sold in 121 countries in 29 different languages? Not only is the game fun and educational, but it also helps players learn math and thinking skills.
To observe Scrabble Day, the Articulon team visited the Wake County Boys & Girls Clubs – Brentwood location. Kids, volunteers and the staff loved the new donation of assorted scrabble sets. We toured the arts & crafts room, the tech center, gym and games rooms, and, most of all, enjoyed the chance to play a few games of scrabble with the kids.
The Wake Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe environment for young people to enjoy a range of fun and educational activities. Last year, the clubs had more than 4,000 members. The clubs offer five core programs: Character and Leadership Development, Education and Career Development, Health and Life Skills, The Arts, and Sports, Fitness and Recreation.
