The thirteen Amazon Holiday Gift Cards – $50 each- arrived today in shiny holiday tins. Thanks for helping me buy them. This holiday I am hoping to try to recognize the incredible and loving work these people do all year, I see it every time I am there.

The residents are fortunate to be in the hands of people who love them so much These health care aides are in need of recognition. I hope they enjoy the gift cards, Amazon make sit very easy to buy them and to use them.

I’ve also ordered 50 pens with the engraving – To Our Better Angels, The Mansion Aides – and I’ll  pass them out soon.

I’m hoping to buy a Karaoke Machine tomorrow morning, a Pyle Pro, the machine costs $219, plus cables, the total will be around $278. I’m plotting a Christmas Karaoke Concert by the Mansion residents, I have four residents lined up to sing.

I’m working with LoAnn Sanders, a Queen of the Army Of Good, to plan a Karaoke fest. I can’t wait for the video.

It has a wireless microphone, DVD player and screen, among other things. I’ve been researching these all week.

This could be a high water mark in our work. Thanks for helping to make this a very special holiday for the Mansion aides and residents. We’re also planning a great Christmas Party on December 14.
