It’s a new year and that brings an opportunity for new ideas to incorporate into our Lady-Links program. We’re not changing our mission…to engage our dear friends in activities they can enjoy…but we are looking for ways to increase our connection with those ladies in our community who are experiencing various types of memory loss or cognitive decline. To do that requires thought, planning, and coordination with other groups who have the same compassionate outreach for providing socialization for those with various types of cognitive concerns.
We want to reach as many dear friends as possible and that includes volunteering at events designed for those with cognitive issues.
We’ve also learned that a card connection with our dear friends is a great way to bring joy into their lives when a personal visit isn’t possible. COVID taught us that.
The Lady-Links organized in 2013, visiting dear friends in their homes engaging them in various activities such as crafts, games, music, or with Show and Tell items. We want to expand that vision to include volunteering at events, setting up a Card Connection with pen pals, and engaging in group craft activities creating projects that we send to our dear friends.. We’ve done some of that in the past, but we want to do more. Our focus has been primarily on home visits but now as our community grows, we want to broaden our vision for how to reach ladies with cognitive issues in additional ways. This will be an exciting year for Lady-Links!
Happy New Year from the Lady-Links!
