**Prepare now for your visit from Santa!!It is really not to early to think about Christmas, as our area’s demand for Santas is quite high. Santa Bob (Rob Gang) just sent me this message–for real! “We here at the North Pole are very busy building toys and planning our delivery routes. We are looking forward to scheduling visits with your senior facilities. One request–we all enjoy a white Christmas, but last year was just a little too much snow for even Santa!” So go to our Holidays category and read about Santa Bob, or Santa Jim Wood, our other listed Santa, and don’t be frozen out:)
**Looking for another fun musical event ? Check out the Tone Rangers, a small mixed choir who have been entertaining seniors for years, with a special focus on those with memory issues! The Tone Rangers bring their well-known songs in a sing-along format, to your facility. They also have Holiday and Jewish music in their repertoire! Learn more about the Tone Rangers in the ElderAudience Music or Holidays category.
That’s it for now, but more to come! Have a great week.
