Family Dinner Night Contest

I came across an article a few minutes ago that I think is worthy of sharing with anyone that knows a senior that could use a little company.

Home Instead Senior Care in White Rock, BC is having a recipe contest for local community members. The contest encourages local families to prepare a meal that they share with a senior loved one, then write the recipe and a story about what makes it special to be entered by September 15th into the contest, with winning entries published online and in a cookbook that will be on sale for the 2011 holiday season.

I think it is a wonderful idea that any senior or caregiver support group could implement to encourage spending more family dinner time with seniors and possibly expand on so that someone makes a special dinner for a caregiver and their care recipient, then creates a family story that can be included in a family scrapbook to remember the occasion.
