The Holiday Project's Valentine's Day Saturday Visit

Holidays are the times for connecting … with family...friends...the community at large. Many people are cut off from this connection due to health problems, advanced age, or other circumstances. The Holiday Project provides volunteers with opportunities to let these persons know that they have not been forgotten and to brighten their lives by brightening their day!
This is done through organized visits to skilled nursing facilities in celebration of selected holidays throughout the year:

Visit dates scheduled for 2012 are as follows:

Valentine's Day Saturday- 2/11/12 (9:30 a.m.)
Easter Saturday - 4/21/12 (9:30 a.m.)
Mother's Day Saturday - 5/12/12 (9:30 a.m.)
Father's Day Saturday - 6/16/12 (9:30 a.m.)
Grandparents Day Saturday - 9/9/12 (9:30 a.m.)
Thanksgiving Day – 11/22/12 (9:30 a.m.)
Christmas Day - 12/25/12 (9:30 a.m. / 12 Noon)

Volunteers gather at their choice of the two meeting sites listed below and are organized into teams visit assigned locations. (Each volunteer is responsible for his/her own transportation.) Each volunteers will be given a map to their assigned visit site and greeting cards to share with the persons they visit. Time spent at the assigned sites varies from visit to visit, but typically a visit lasts from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.
