Being an activity planner for senior citizens means a few things. I have to talk very loudly all day long. Everything that I create (fliers. notices, calendars, etc.) has to be in size 18 font or larger. And I have to call Bingo on a regular basis. At the facility where I work we hold Bingo games [...]
