[Michlib-l] Outreach and Programming for Dementia Sufferers

[Sara Boven]

Hello,

We did an arts and crafts program this summer for children and teens that
could very easily be applied for seniors.  It was called - DreamFlags.

And the participants made dream flag... what do you dream about?  Whether
it is ice cream or world peace.

It was well attended and the kids (and some adults) and the comments are
really positive.  Additionally we made all of the kids create one to
display in the library.

Good Luck!!

Sara
