Hello Our facility is in a rural town 200 kms from the nearest city. I have worked as an Activity Coordinator for 13 years. One of my first projects was to get historic pictures of our area, print and laminate them. Over the years I have collected about 200 historic pictures All our Residents and visitors love these photos. They discuss the photo's content and it also prompts them to talk about the "old days" I have learnt many new things about the history of this area from this activity
So many great ideas in here. Glad to have found you, Golden Carers! Thank you for all the wonderful things you do to help all of us working with activities to better and to make our activities fun for our customers and us.
