Bulletin Boards

I thought I wouldn't have to do bulletin boards anymore after leaving the teaching profession. However, my company likes us to promote our programs through 3D bulletin boards. I actually like this little task and it is a fun project to think of ideas and then collect the things to make it look appealing and fun. We have some top execs coming to our community next week, because Buckhead has been causing some waves, good waves. (Last year at this time our community was like 40% occupied and today we are 90%. So we have some huge growth) So I thought I would do a bulletin board overhaul and I am really trying to make our programs look great and the community look inviting. If you can believe it, this job is very very very sales focused. I also have a volunteer now who just got her BS and wants to get her masters in gerontology. She is a HUGE help and it lets me spend more time doing things like this.

So the boards I am making:
1. An Evening under the Stars - the Atlanta Astronomy Club will come and set up telescopes outside for residents to view at the end of the month.
2. Blarney Breakfast - we are partnering with the Alzheimer's Association and hosting a St. Patrick's Day breakfast to raise money for them. If you guys don't know anything about alzheimers you should really research it. The numbers are staggering - I think it is like every 90 seconds someone gets diagnosed. And because of the boomers, it will rapidly increase in the coming decades. It is crazy to hear and understand what they think some causes could be and it is also so devasting to see the disease progress in people. SO I am really happy we are raising money for this.
3. A Where We've Been board for the residents to put pins in the different countries. This is one of greatest things about my job. I get to sit and talk and learn so much from such wise people. I love to hear of all the places they have been and the stories they tell and actually seeing it on a map will be incredible.


Have any ideas for me? Pass them on. Love you all!
