Some special event ideas for your facility:

THEME DAYS-Decide on a theme and have everyone dress accordingly. Have special
games and decorations. Make the evening meal an extra special affair. Have entertainment come in.

FUND RAISERS/CHARITY EVENTS-Get together with the other staff and decide on a
fund raiser idea and a charity. Be sure to have enough help. Not only are you helping your community but you are also helping to get your facility known in the area.

involved, especially when it is someone they know.

INTERNATIONAL DAYS-Focus on a different country each day and then plan your
meals accordingly. Have maps available and make crafts from the different countries. Local travel agencies may provide brochures and interesting information.
