CALA Conference Brochure

Just for Fun

An old man is bragging to his neighbor about his expensive new hearing aid. "My doctor told me this hearing aid is the best that money can buy. It's considered the Cadillac of hearing aids." The neighbor says " That's mighty impressive. What kind is it?" The man looks at his watch and says, "Two-thirty."

Online class information

Medication Compliance

Class is taught the last Thursday of every month in the San Fernando Valley. The class covers nine areas required by legislation. We will cover information for all levels of staff. This can serve as the 4 hours of yearly training for all people assisting with medication. There will be a few changes to accomodate the holidays. Check with our office 818-885-1972 or online for specifics.

Medication classes for administrators and staff

I can only hope that all of our portfolios and real estate values will go up again. In the meantime, let's try to keep having fun. One of my training mentors, Sivasailam Thiagarajan ("Thiagi") talks about the importance of taking serious things lightly and light things seriously. In these times, I think it makes perfect sense.

Sincerely,
