jennb54 0 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi everyone! I have Support Group meetings every month on 1st Thursday's from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, and need to improve attendance. Have speakers, send flyers (internally and externally), serve refreshments. My highest attendance has only been 5. I feel lucky if I get 3. Appreciate any suggestions on how to increase attendance? The topic: "Communication" and the speaker is a trainer from Alz Association. Bennie in Texas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkc 0 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Have you tried your local newspaper? Or TV They might be willing to do an article or put a note in the local happenings area of their paper. Did you talk with the Al local chapter they may have ideas on how to help you as well. Don't give up on it! This is so important! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennb54 0 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Good suggestion about local newspaper. I had eleven this last time due to involving the Alz Org as the speaker and giving my caregivers 1 hour credit for attending. I will try the local newspaper idea too. That's a good one. Thanks much!

penkay 1 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Hi Bennie There is a really good networking group in houston. they have guest speakers sometimes & other times they just meet & share. There is always a lunch & they meet once a month. The meeting places vary from omth to month as ADs take turns hosting it at their facility or they get a local resturant to let them do it there etc. Contact Donna Martin (she is one of the founders for this group) her email address is martindonna@hotmail.com Let us know what happens & if you start your own group you can post it here monthly.
