Calendars: On the day before the end of the month, CCC needs someone on a regular basis to decorate the three bulletin boards that the calendars go on. She provides the calendars—we provide the decorations that are themed to the month. Table Centerpieces: Once a month CCC needs someone to change the dining room table decorations to something suiting the month, such as fall leaves for October, etc. Usually these are silk flowers. Many are available there, or you can bring your own. Special Events: Such as Trick or Treat or Christmas Tree Trimming These special events require Ticktockers to participate with the seniors. There is also the Christmas Tea, Visiting with the elderly and reading them books, etc. |
