Hi, I hoping to put on a Forget Me Not day at work, for all the individuals and staff. Looking for some ideas and things to put on display or to sell, for a small donation. Have one idea, a sing along, make up some song books and create a cd to use. Anything else would be a bonus. Thanjs

Hi Karen,

Could you hold a raffle? We typically raffle off things like the front row parking spot, meal vouchers for the cafeteria, or an extended lunch break for staff at a $1 a ticket. We've also sold things like hand made arts and crafts by the residents or hand made knitted scarves for $5 a piece. I'm not sure if you have an independent living section, but we (skilled nursing) would always ask for hand-crafted donations to sell at our events.

Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others.
I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
