Latest From Our President, Bryan Miller
Thanks for everyone who attended our February 2022 meeting, in person and on ZOOM.
Please remember about getting volunteers to "sign up" for telling stories they use for home visits. I'd like to have someone tell a story at every meeting if possible. Please contact me directly to get on the schedule.
Here's what I have in mind for topics for our upcoming meetings:
- MAR 12: "Being Santa in 2022" (Members share tips on giving the best Santa experience for families in 2022. Example: avoid assuming nuclear family relationships, two mom's, two dad's, grandparents, foster families, non-binary identifiers, phrases that are ok, phrases that aren't ok, etc...)
- APR 09: "Sensitive Santa" (Have a guest from an Autism group give us tips for interacting with autistic people)
- MAY 14: "Castle Noel"
- JUN 11: "Off-Season Santa Opportunities" (Christmas in July, Appearing with the Easter Bunny, etc.)
- JUL 09: "Business of Santa, Mrs Claus, Helpers, and other holiday performers" (Members share tips/info on running their businesses)
- AUG 13: "Magic of Santa" (Easy tricks you can use that will add Christmas magic to our visits)
- SEP 10: "Staying Healthy" (Taking care of our mental and physical health)
- OCT 08: Pictures
A special Thank You goes to Chaplain Bob Long for his memorial presentation, and to Doreen Farabaugh
for her talents in creating and presenting the Memorial Ornaments she crafted.
Thank you to all who brought in their coffee contributions to the Red Cross. This is our ongoing monthly means of helping to support this much needed community resource.
