2015-03-03 07:41:52 PM phylliskrastanov LOL! do you use a ladder? that is funny
2015-03-03 07:41:52 PM elainelewis Hey where can I find Kareoke cd? Our library had 3 kid ones.
2015-03-03 07:41:56 PM nelia1 lol

2015-03-03 07:42:00 PM cgbrown1977 I always copy the chats so if anyone wants a copy of the transcript shoot me an email after at cbrown@lamplightcommunities.com
2015-03-03 07:42:01 PM krisy1 what' s dumpster diving
2015-03-03 07:42:04 PM marthabowman try amazon
2015-03-03 07:42:08 PM georgiam dumptster diving is the best you can really find some good things
2015-03-03 07:42:09 PM kathyhughes we always cruised the college areas when the kids left for the summer
2015-03-03 07:42:13 PM jmosley4 we do trips then not in the winter
2015-03-03 07:42:24 PM kathyhughes and we would go through what they took to the curb
2015-03-03 07:42:26 PM pauline It's wonderful to hear how your community connects to your sights. Garage sales and such would not go over well here. My group expects to be served...not shop..sometimes having $$ gets in the way of creativity and community
2015-03-03 07:42:27 PM caitejess haha what a great idea!!!
2015-03-03 07:42:31 PM fawnw ME EITHER, HAD TO CANCEL AN OUTING, SO WE SET THE ACTIVITY ROOM UP INTO AN ITALIAN RESTUARANT FOR THE FOLKS WHO DIDN'T GET TO GO AND ORDERED PIZZA AND WINGS AND HOGIES FOR THEIR LUNCH
2015-03-03 07:42:41 PM nicolewilks That is a good Idea we have a store the residents buy gently used items from with their bingo chips, but we have a hard time supplying it,I like the idea of the garage sales!!!
2015-03-03 07:42:42 PM keywest yes your right kathy
2015-03-03 07:42:48 PM ginnypow love that fawn

2015-03-03 07:43:24 PM leila that's a good idea fawnw
2015-03-03 07:43:25 PM kathyhughes You can also contact the restaurants to cater a luncheone
2015-03-03 07:43:28 PM pam74 left the chat room

2015-03-03 07:43:37 PM vickey having these chat are a great idea, i get so much ideas
2015-03-03 07:43:40 PM kathyhughes and we would invite the chef to demo a dish
2015-03-03 07:43:42 PM gloria12 that would be good
2015-03-03 07:43:44 PM jmosley4 sunday clocks spring foward

2015-03-03 07:43:46 PM pam74 enter the chat room
2015-03-03 07:43:59 PM keywest good idea
2015-03-03 07:44:02 PM mshapiro1206 we often have sponsored luncheons. we can have more residents particiapte in a luncheon than a dining trip
2015-03-03 07:44:10 PM feliciap im gonna have to start copying adn pasting these chats too to keep these good ideas for the future!
2015-03-03 07:44:17 PM kathyhughes We also would ask Bakery's to demo cake decorating for free cake
2015-03-03 07:44:19 PM jmosley4 we cook different food too
2015-03-03 07:44:21 PM fawnw THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, WE HAVE OUR CHEF COME IN FROM THE KITCHEN AND DO COOKING DEMOS THEN EVERYONE GETS TO TASTE TEST THE FINAL PRODUCE
2015-03-03 07:44:26 PM marthabowman we are always cancelling outings bc of this darn weather!
2015-03-03 07:44:30 PM marthabowman cant wait until spring

2015-03-03 07:44:52 PM ericapond left the chat room
2015-03-03 07:44:55 PM marthabowman waht do you do for the breakfsats?
2015-03-03 07:44:56 PM phylliskrastanov roads are too narrow
2015-03-03 07:44:56 PM caitejess some people will only attend activities when there is food to offer
2015-03-03 07:44:56 PM ginnypow hahaha vickey
2015-03-03 07:44:59 PM lmorasch i havent had to cnacel any trips at all this winter
2015-03-03 07:45:00 PM amainez alot of residents getting sick
2015-03-03 07:45:08 PM lmorasch its been nice. no angry or dissapointed residents!
2015-03-03 07:45:09 PM vickey tyvm all for great ideas
2015-03-03 07:45:16 PM wnkstewart so true caitejess!!!
2015-03-03 07:45:17 PM lmorasch i meant cancel
2015-03-03 07:45:23 PM mshapiro1206 serving coffee is a good incentive to get resident's to attend activities
2015-03-03 07:45:28 PM phylliskrastanov right cait, especially the diabetics ....lol...looking to cheat, we have to watch them
2015-03-03 07:45:39 PM feliciap anything with food is good too. everyone loves food
