I'm coming in late to this conversation but am also interested in connecting with an overseas group. Someone who might be interested in skyping with us in addition to more traditional methods of communication?
Also, we run a weekly inter generational playgroup with Mums, Dad's and young children, if someone else does the same I think it would be a lovely session to connect using technology.
We are in Brisbane Australia - if you are interested please contact me on [email protected]
Thanks Talita for these links - they've given me some good starting points! Here's a couple more ideas to throw into the melting pot. Other suggestions welcome :-)
* I'm hoping to have some of the ladies bake cupcakes prior and we will wrap these and sell to staff/families as fundraiser * Perhaps craft with ladies prior? Maybe paper flowers to use as decorations on day? * With approval I'm hoping to raffle a "win a 1/2 day off" voucher. This is more of a fundraiser for the for staff but hopefully it will generate some interest! * Encourage ladies and team/staff to wear pink on the day. * I also really like the idea of having soft background music and reading some lovely poetry on the day.
As a fairly new face to Lifestyle and Leisure I'm very much enjoying the role and the process of creating activities to connect our beautiful residents :-)
Hello, I'm looking for inspiration to create a successful pink ribbon day/fundraiser that engages our staff and residents. It has not been done in our facility before so any suggestions or ideas would be very welcome.
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
