Melissa and Crystal to report back on the wiki by 3/17/11 I called and spoke to Johanna on 3/14/11. I explained our project to her and asked if this was something they could accommodate at their facility. She said that they do not offer an avenue for groups to have contact with the children. All volunteers need to go through a screening process that requires interviews, training, and required participation hours. She said the best way we could help out was to do a toy drive or make blankets to donate. - Crystal
 * Contact Ronald McDonald Home- Melissa Totten**

 * Things to do:
 * 1) Find out their needs (assess)
 * Assess the population- things to ask?
 * What is the overall information on patient population- age, geographic location, type of cancer, type of treatment, etc
 * What is the greatest need?
 * Our project is that we need to assess the community- Do you have information about the families needs?
 * (Crystal) -Can you share the data with us? If no, is there some other way that we might be able to gather that information?
 * (Crystal) -Is there an option for us to come in even though we will not be meeting the 100 hours a year?
 * Will need to provide the times that we are available- may be a few hours a week (Thursday morning, Tuesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon)
 * Should go off of what the key informative says
 * Are their any information or things that we need to complete? Background fee, etc?
 * Are their certain hours that we may not be able to be there?
 * (Melissa)- Are their any specific days that the children from the hospital come over and stay with the family?
 * (Melissa)- Can all twelve of us work with the families, it is a class project and we all need to be involved.

I spoke with Gwen Terry on 3/16/11. I explained our project to her and she said we are welcome to come on Tue and Thur. in groups of 8-10. On these days we would be helping with cleaning. Mon., Wed., and Fri. are activity days. There is some paperwork we would have to fill out prior to volunteering which she can fax to us. She would love to have all of volunteer on Sunday April 11th for the walk they are having at Victoria Gardens from 6am-12pm and needs to know a.s.a.p. Please let me know if you are interested. Melissa


 * Great info but you need a Needs Assessment. I don't see any mention of the "A" in ADPIE. The project is not about volunteering - it's about going through the entire process in the ADPIE. Ms. Lesser **


 * You can volunteer for part of your service learning component of DEH-45 - just a thought. Ms. Lesser **
