The Morning Show with Barry and Mandy
After one month of “quarantine” we needed to bring a pop of light back into our Home and the Resident’s lives. Mandy, the Activity Director, and her assistant, Barry, decided to entertain the building with their own morning show! Anything happening in the auditorium can be broadcast to the home on our own channel. This has been a great way for us to send out a uniform message to the building and help combat the constant not so happy news we see on tv daily.
The Morning Show with Barry and Mandy showcases jokes from Sr. Dorothy, updates from staff, and light and fun stories or trivia. This has had a huge impact on our Residents at this time. One of our Residents even dedicated a poem to the show:
Our Morning Show
By Ruth Schnurr
Thank God for the camera
Now we can see
Barry and Mandy
On the TV
With news of the weather
And current date
It airs at 9:30
We can hardly wait!
We all like to hear
A good joke or two
Sister Dorothy tells them
As we tune on 52
We like the trivia
And the games
All this helps us
To strengthen our brains
If we have an idea
To add to the show
We’ll send you a note
To let you know
We’re thankful for our guests
Who have the ability
To bring us the news
Local to our facility
And how much we enjoy
The music that you play
The morning of the show
That makes our every day.
