People and organizations will have to get to know you so they can trust you. And you will have to be careful of your sources - be sure you can trust them. But once you have established your contacts - "Kattie bar the door"! You could have a full time job :-). One thing you will have to watch out for . . . people telling you what you "really" should do. Here are two ways to get started, you will learn of more as you go along. <strong>McDonald House</strong>: They provide housing for families so they will be close to their children while they are in the hospital. You will need to contact McDonald House personnel, in person is best, and tell them what you have in mind. They will be glad to help you with names and details. <strong>Shriners Children's Hospitals</strong>: Oh how those young people and their parents would love to receive happy cards from you. Go on line to get addresses and telephone numbers. I wouldn't give up on contacting the hospitals. It wouldn't hurt to drop by the visitors desk, tell them what you have in mind and see if they have some advice. Thanks for writing Monica, please drop us a line to let us know how you are doing with your little project. It just may encourage others to get involved. Best of luck with your project and all the best from me, Woody Hi Monica,

McDonald House: They provide housing for families so they will be close to their children while they are in the hospital. You will need to contact McDonald House personnel, in person is best, and tell them what you have in mind. They will be glad to help you with names and details.
Shriners Children’s Hospitals: Oh how those young people and their parents would love to receive happy cards from you. Go on line to get addresses and telephone numbers.

I wouldn’t give up on contacting the hospitals. It wouldn’t hurt to drop by the visitors desk, tell them what you have in mind and see if they have some advice.

]]> Comment on Hospital Care Packages by Monica B. http://www.woodysretirementblog.com/hospital-care-packages.htm/comment-page-1#comment-781 Monica B. Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:46:24 +0000 http://www.woodysretirementblog.com/?p=240#comment-781 I love this idea about the care package. I am beginning to make cards for kids who are in the hospital and I think this is a wonderful idea as well. I don't personally know anyone who has had surgery or anything so if you can offer some ideas on how to find people (regardless if I know them), who would welcome something like this, please let me know. I don't think calling the hospitals will get me anywhere. Thanks for sharing! I love this idea about the care package.

]]> Comment on Hearing Aids – Advice from a Professional by hearing services http://www.woodysretirementblog.com/hearing-aids-advice-from-a-professiona.htm/comment-page-1#comment-733 hearing services Mon, 22 Aug 2011 05:48:53 +0000 http://www.woodysretirementblog.com/?p=582#comment-733 This is the nice information, And I agree that consumer resistance is the best way to fight high prices. Many things on hearing aids have become automatic, but not better. For example, most of us who have worn our hearing aids for years prefer controlling when our FM kicks in. If you have ever been to a convention with a room full of hard of hearing and deaf people, you don’t want your FM kicking in every time someone walks by with a Smartlink. So annoying. I also prefer to have control over when my “speech in noise” program kicks in. Thanks for nice information.
