and increasing production of the
feel-good hormone serotonin. The

Over the long term, pet and human
interactions can lower cholesterol
levels, fight depression and may
even help protect against heart
disease and stroke.” Do not forget
pet waste stations, outdoor dog
runs, and indoor washing facilities.

call attention to topics or items that
all residents need to be aware of.
• Town Hall Meetings allow residents
