2014-04-22 06:08:11 PM dthompson For Father's Day, hopefully here in San Antonio, the Spurs will have celebrated a world championship for the NBA and we can play off of that theme (play off - good pun!)
2014-04-22 06:08:12 PM kathyhughes I know of some facilities that have a motorcycle rally on Fathers Day
2014-04-22 06:08:15 PM nicolet its a mexican holiday

2014-04-22 06:08:29 PM katcarpender would anyone like to private chat me for a little bit about my new AAD job (as of yesterday) at an Alzheimer’s/memory care facility?
2014-04-22 06:08:31 PM sschumacher Yes, I have heard of the motorcycle rally
2014-04-22 06:08:39 PM dgauntlett motorcycle rally is a great idea!!
2014-04-22 06:08:40 PM sschumacher You would just contact a local motorcycle shop
2014-04-22 06:08:46 PM kimholbrook motorcycle rally sounds interesting!
2014-04-22 06:08:53 PM marybowden We do a Mother's Day Tea with finger sandwiches, various teas and a chocolate fondue station. Usually for father's day we do a barbeque, tie tying contest. I do like the idea of a car show..there's a local car show, but it's for memorial day
2014-04-22 06:08:55 PM amberfields sure does
2014-04-22 06:09:03 PM lisam sure I will chat. I am the activities director of a 50 bed memory care unit.

2014-04-22 06:09:29 PM kimleon I like the motorcycle rally . . .especially since our DON is a motorcycle rider!
2014-04-22 06:09:30 PM meriskk For Father's Day I always ask the fathers ahead of time what they would really LIKE to do
2014-04-22 06:09:32 PM rwestfall i still need to chat if anyone else does
2014-04-22 06:09:37 PM lisab i AM GOING TO TALK TO OUR ADMINISTRATOR I KNOW HED LOVE A CAR SHOW WE COULD ADVERTISE AND THE PUBLIC COULD COME. wE DO THAT FOR OUR EASTER EGG HUNT, THAT WAS A HIT
2014-04-22 06:09:46 PM karend1957 we had a 'beer' and nuts nite....offered root beer and non alcoholic beer.....they chose the root beer!!!!

2014-04-22 06:09:52 PM meriskk We have a small facility so it's possible to really personalize it

2014-04-22 06:10:03 PM dthompson Cinco De Mayo is the equivalent for Mexico of our 4th of July
2014-04-22 06:10:05 PM kimleon When I ask the men what they want to do, they generally say "nothing"
2014-04-22 06:10:14 PM dgauntlett what about fishing??

2014-04-22 06:10:35 PM rwestfall ltimlin want to chat after this class chat?

2014-04-22 06:10:39 PM nicolet I am also going to take the residents to a local basball game
2014-04-22 06:10:41 PM lizkanderson I've found that if I ask the men between particular choices they start there and then tell me more later
2014-04-22 06:10:44 PM kathyhughes They are waiting to be told what to do....I would ask them what is their favorite summer pastime
2014-04-22 06:10:53 PM meriskk but i make suggestions, like ask them what's on the tv for sports, what they have been really craving foodwise, etc..
2014-04-22 06:10:53 PM ltimlin yes. restfall - sounds good
2014-04-22 06:10:56 PM amberfields for some reason it doesn't seem like it will
