We get Arrowroot biscuits and residents ice them in the team colours of the two AFL footy teams. For example, we used black, red and white striped icing for St Kilda and Red, Yellow and Blue for the Adelaide Crows. Can do all the AFL teams if you wanted to. We ate them at Half time for afternoon tea. We also had different coloured cordial to match the team colours. And party pies!

Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
