2014-07-22 06:09:48 PM kristerf1 left the chat room
2014-07-22 06:09:53 PM carola enter the chat room
2014-07-22 06:10:02 PM mariak whats our topic this time?
2014-07-22 06:10:02 PM carola Hello all!
2014-07-22 06:10:03 PM kathyhughes okay....well I would call around to other facilities in your corp and see what they do
2014-07-22 06:10:14 PM jean1 Do the residents pay for their own ice cream on the outings?
2014-07-22 06:10:20 PM khughes but i feel like im doing good with the activities that i offer and not sure what to say back im just needing ideas from anyone
2014-07-22 06:10:46 PM beccafletcher14 Well, give us an example of a typical activity they'd want "enhanced"
2014-07-22 06:10:52 PM khughes I found this out today and they want an anwser by tomorrow
2014-07-22 06:10:56 PM valerieh Arm chair travel
2014-07-22 06:11:01 PM kathyhughes Usually I would reply....good idea and can't wait to get additional informatuon about that
2014-07-22 06:11:03 PM jean1 Maybe you could have your administrator contact them for clarification?
2014-07-22 06:11:11 PM kleson03 we need to meet up with other facility i think it would be very nice only problem we don't have transportation
2014-07-22 06:11:14 PM debbielee I have a fall bazaar. It is a big success in our area. We raise almost all our funds from that. we have bake table, yard sale items, a fish bowl table, soup table.
2014-07-22 06:11:16 PM khughes ok that would work
2014-07-22 06:11:19 PM margarethrabal Ask community businesses for donations of things or services and have a raffle or a auction.
2014-07-22 06:11:35 PM kathyhughes and perhaps a google search?
2014-07-22 06:11:36 PM sandy mabe change up the calender for aug add something diffrent
2014-07-22 06:11:38 PM beccafletcher14 Yeah. Just by saying "enhanced" is pretty vague...
2014-07-22 06:11:43 PM debbielee the residents do not pay, they come from our petty cash funds from fundraisers.
2014-07-22 06:11:45 PM kathyhughes It is indeed
2014-07-22 06:12:00 PM kleson03 we don't have a petty cash fund
2014-07-22 06:12:04 PM valerieh Do families donate?
2014-07-22 06:12:21 PM debbielee our petty cash is from money wev]
2014-07-22 06:12:30 PM kathyhughes So let me check around and see what I can find out Rebecca
2014-07-22 06:12:37 PM debbielee money we;'ve raised
2014-07-22 06:12:41 PM jean1 Oh, that's nice, debbielee.
2014-07-22 06:12:43 PM nshumpert rarely very few families donate
2014-07-22 06:12:45 PM kathyhughes and you do some research with the other facilities in the corp
2014-07-22 06:12:45 PM kleson03 we have to have fund raisers to raise money but we use that for bingo and to pay for residents to go on trips who don't have money
2014-07-22 06:12:57 PM kathyhughes then e-mail me at the end of the week
2014-07-22 06:13:19 PM kathyhughes Oh Fundraising.......what to sell
2014-07-22 06:13:34 PM kathyhughes How to make extra cash for the residents
2014-07-22 06:13:38 PM debbielee we also get donations throughout the year from memorials that are given to the activity dept.
2014-07-22 06:13:39 PM kleson03 no families don't really donate
2014-07-22 06:13:51 PM valerieh Try lunch or chips and pop for the staff maybe candy bars
2014-07-22 06:13:54 PM jean1 I want to have a fundraiser too. Really want to get the Music & Memory training/ipods
2014-07-22 06:13:55 PM sandy how many activities in a day and how much help do u have and how many residents do you have may be a question you may as your self...
2014-07-22 06:14:27 PM kleson03 we do Nachos sells we sell chips and pop daily.
2014-07-22 06:14:43 PM debbielee we have local vendors rent tables to sale their crafts and have volunteers make soup and baked goods and we also have residents make throws to raffle.
2014-07-22 06:14:44 PM kathyhughes Good idea Jean...it's always easier to raise money when people know what their donation is going for
2014-07-22 06:14:54 PM valerieh We will set up a bake sale in front of the local bank on fridays
2014-07-22 06:15:00 PM mariak we get donations but conducting fundraising activites, still we an area have to explore...
2014-07-22 06:15:03 PM kleson03 if we have movies we sell the popcorn to the staff and we sell ice cream cones
2014-07-22 06:15:03 PM sandy extra cash well have staff donate and you can hve a grage sale
2014-07-22 06:15:12 PM margarethrabal Cant beat Nachos
2014-07-22 06:15:13 PM debbielee thats a good idea valerie
2014-07-22 06:15:22 PM kathyhughes I would also contact a local farm to see if you can get pumpkins cheap and then sell them at the facility
2014-07-22 06:15:40 PM mschafer enter the chat room
2014-07-22 06:15:41 PM kathyhughes also apples and veggies
2014-07-22 06:15:50 PM debbielee yeah we could sell pumpkins at our fall bazaar.
2014-07-22 06:15:54 PM beccafletcher14 Ah, it IS apple season :)
2014-07-22 06:16:03 PM kathyhughes Hello Monica

2014-07-22 06:16:35 PM kathyhughes there will be others later
2014-07-22 06:16:36 PM kleson03 Our facilite doesn't let use ask for help or donation says it has to be reported
2014-07-22 06:16:45 PM kathyhughes reported to?
2014-07-22 06:16:53 PM beccafletcher14 Whoa
2014-07-22 06:16:53 PM mschafer exciting news though, i attended my first regional activities meeting today and met Murv - she says hello
2014-07-22 06:17:02 PM valerieh We have a fall fest and did beer tasting
2014-07-22 06:17:11 PM kathyhughes I adore Murv!
2014-07-22 06:17:17 PM kathyhughes Glad that you met her!
2014-07-22 06:17:34 PM carola Beer with our residents=gone!
2014-07-22 06:17:37 PM mschafer when she heard you were my teacher she freaked
2014-07-22 06:17:38 PM kathyhughes And you can have a guess the number of seeds in a pumpkin contest
2014-07-22 06:17:51 PM kathyhughes Lol....I bet that she did
2014-07-22 06:17:52 PM mschafer small world : )
2014-07-22 06:17:54 PM kleson03 Im not sure we had our ambulance company pay for the dj and they say it has to be reported so maybe on there taxes or to whom ever fuds the building HUD Maybe
2014-07-22 06:17:56 PM debbielee if you havent ever heard of a fishbowl table it raises alot of money. we get donations and we also buy items on sale. and right numbers on every item and put the same numbers in a fish bowl. they pay to pull a number and its alot of sorry try agains in the bowl but numbers as well.
2014-07-22 06:18:47 PM kathyhughes Well I might have a conversation with the ADM and CFO.....see you might be a for profit facility
2014-07-22 06:18:57 PM margarethrabal Fishbowl, neat idea!
2014-07-22 06:19:18 PM nshumpert I like the fishbowl table idea
2014-07-22 06:19:19 PM kathyhughes however, a long time ago in a far away land....we made the Resident Council a non profit organization
2014-07-22 06:19:22 PM carola Never heard of a fishbowl table like that. Sounds like fun!
2014-07-22 06:19:24 PM debbielee i think this year we are going to try a cake walk at the bazaar.
2014-07-22 06:19:29 PM kleson03 okay i will be asking in the morning meeting
2014-07-22 06:19:31 PM kathyhughes so that we could take donations and raise $$$
2014-07-22 06:20:04 PM kathyhughes that way the facility could take donations and the residents could raise $ for their activities
2014-07-22 06:20:10 PM debbielee fish bowl is awesome and every body likes doing it. the kids get their parents to keep buying chances.
2014-07-22 06:20:22 PM kathyhughes and people donating could write it off on their taxes
2014-07-22 06:20:25 PM kleson03 I will ask because with a limit budget every donation helps.
2014-07-22 06:20:33 PM kathyhughes it doea
2014-07-22 06:20:35 PM jean1 debbielee, how much do you charge per chance with the fishbowl?
2014-07-22 06:20:36 PM debbielee last year we had over 100 items
2014-07-22 06:20:36 PM kathyhughes does
2014-07-22 06:20:48 PM mariak good idea..
2014-07-22 06:21:13 PM kathyhughes anyone know what the "HOT" toy will be this Christmas?
2014-07-22 06:21:23 PM debbielee it is only .25 cents apiece or 5 for $1.
