I volunteer at a local retirement community in their wood shop. I am not a resident. When I started 18 months ago the shop was being used very little which happens as the resident population changes. Over the ensuing months I made several upgrades and changes. Currently we have four residents using the facility on a semi regular basis.
The other day I was in the shop when the phone on the wall rang. That was a surprise as the phone is more an emergency device than for regular use. It was one of the marketing staff at the community and she asked for me by name. She then asked if I would be willing to give an interview to the local newspaper about happenings in the shop.
The next day the reporter came for an hour. She asked questions and took photos. I tried to stay on task and present a simple message. It amounted to creating an environment that was safe, enticing and fun.
It will be interesting to see what the article looks like.
Anyone else had this opportunity ?
Thanks, Bill
