• Forget Me Not Foundation - Fantastic Idea that all activity directors should participate in. They believe in enhancing lives and spreading joy to residents and patients of nursing homes, hospitals and other medical facilities through beauty of flowers. This is a non profit foundation who will deliver donated fresh cut flowers from their partners and show you how to break them down and utilize them. If it is not offered in your state, find out how to bring this program to your state. Great Idea!!!
