Caregiver Conference Update“Discovering the Hidden Treasures in the Depths of Caregiving” is the theme of the 2007 ESP Caregiver Conference that will be held at Christ the King Conference Center, on Friday, March 16, 2007. The Conference Committee is very excited to have keynote speaker Shelly Zylstra of Northwest Regional Council, as well as a huge variety of breakout sessions lined up. We are expecting 450 caregivers to attend, and there are several sponsorship opportunities available. First – we have limited space available on the tote bags, and they are filling up. For a mere $150, your company’s name will be imprinted on 850 durable canvas bags that the caregivers will carry with them throughout the Conference and the upcoming year. Bags leftover after the conference will be distributed throughout the community, probably at next year’s Senior Day at the Park. Contact cindy@cindysherwin.com for more information. Second – Put yourself and your company in front of 450 caregivers by being a vendor at the Conference. Four levels of sponsorship are available, and the top two have the extra bonus of having your company name printed on the 5,500 brochures that will be sent out, among other perks. The deadline for those two levels is November 30, 2006. Contact sueramey@msn.com for more information. Company UpdatesHome Attendant Care would like to announce the return of Carla Wood.
