2019-01-22 06:24:56 PM celinasherman but doesn't that make the resident's feel lonely if they have lost their spouse?
2019-01-22 06:25:05 PM tcrute13 pretty simple I will make a sign up list for the residents to sign up for participation. Have a deadline. Then get the residents and employees to vote. It give the residents the opportunity to get to know one another as well.
2019-01-22 06:25:21 PM celinasherman Last year we had something to that effect and the residents at my facility were really sad afterwards
2019-01-22 06:25:30 PM celinasherman nice

2019-01-22 06:30:03 PM shelley just the part that goes over the eyes??
2019-01-22 06:30:07 PM lmiller3 yup
2019-01-22 06:30:11 PM tcrute13 I would love to do Mardi Gras but it feels like I am limited to what I can by to do activities. Most of the time, I am pulling money out of my pocket and I hate the fact that STILL I am limited
2019-01-22 06:30:26 PM celinasherman that stinks
2019-01-22 06:30:37 PM bjholmes1 that makes planning difficult
2019-01-22 06:30:57 PM shelley we have 2 volunteers who make popcorn and sell it for 25 cents a bag and sell all over the facility
2019-01-22 06:30:59 PM celinasherman We have a small budget at my facility so I try to make every dollar count
2019-01-22 06:31:07 PM celinasherman nice!
2019-01-22 06:31:10 PM lmiller3 I find that shopping at wal-mart is cheaper than the dollar store.
2019-01-22 06:31:16 PM tcrute13 What are everyone event for February Black History Month. I think this is the first year ever recognizing the month
2019-01-22 06:31:20 PM shelley money goes to activities, every wee make 15-25 dollars all helps
2019-01-22 06:31:27 PM celinasherman I agree
