Ellen Bremenstul, M.ed, ACC has been approved by NCCAP to teach the first MEPAP1 certification course through an online module. I am finishing the class now and it's great. She is actually in the process of moving to D.C. and will most likely start a new course in a couple of months. Her email address is: ellenbremenstul@att.net

We just finished our volunteer appreciation program and it was a huge success so I thought I would share it with yall. We invited the volunteers to a snowball party on the front porch. The residents decorated terracotta pots with ribbon, seashells, and paint. They inserted a package of thier favoriate flower seeds and made a card that said Thanks, you help us plant the seeds to success. One resident wrote a poem that she read and we played a fun trivia game. It was a blast. Any ideas for next year?

Thanks for the great suggestions i will email Donna right now. The NOLA is for new Orleans so Kimmyh if you are interested send me an email. Thanks everyone. i think this is a great website.

Hi, i am interested in starting a local organization for the activity professionals in my area. Any ideas how i should start?

Hi, We usually get a lot of highschool volunteers this time of year. i like to have them push a cart with popcorn and coke, or coffee room to room and do 1:1. I find the residents and volunteers get a lot out of it. hope this idea helps. Elle
