11/5/2019 Topic: Guest Speakers and Community Outings Lindsey Sidera	We have had a variety of speakers, and they seem to work out very well for the interns. We have had presentations on safety, first aide, advocacy. We are also having a State rep come in and talk more about advocacy and she invited us to the state capital which will be fun to explore! If you are open to it, I have found a lot of people willing to help through our Facebook page!

4/22/2020 Topic: Games to Play through ZOOM CHAT Lindsey Sidera	Hi All, Hope all are remaining safe, greeting from CT! Our team has been utilizing ZOOM Chat like most teams. I also love the share feature where I share PowerPoint presentations. To break up the day we also play games, I found this website that allows you to download PowerPoint Games that can be great over a ZOOM call and interactive. It's a little tough to navigate at first (Wheel of Fortune seems to be easiest so far). The best part you can customize the questions and make them your own. Check out the website! https://www.rusnakcreative.com/gameshows
