Have Fun! pennie If it is available you go to Activity Connection (www.activityconnection.com) you have to be a member and it costs about 150/year but I guarantee it will pay you back time and time again to belong to this site. Their calendar templates and clip art are excellent and the daily chronicle is a lifesaver of communication with your residents and patients. good luck!

abidlack 0 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I love Activity Connection. Once your bill is paid you will never need another site to do your calendars. Some of their templates are a little goofy, but they provide several to choose from. However, until you have access to Activity Connection, try using Microsoft Publisher. The templates are not as cute, but maybe you can create one that is yours and then really take pride in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klockwood82 0 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 We use a program called Touchtown, I can get you the contact information if you would like, it is GREAT!! I have a lot of repeating events...such as exercise and weekly lectures so when i type them into the touchtown system they are automatically repeated on every calendar from month to month...it makes doing a calendar soooooooooooooo much easier. The system itself could be costly...i am not sure, but if you are interested in at least taking a look at it i can get you the information. We use the system to advertise via the residents televisions, it helps with the calendars, and they are working on a newsletter format, which we are looking into getting. Their support staff is great, and will assist with any problems I have quickly. If you want you can go to www.touchtown.us and take a look at the website.
