Volunteer Newsletter Rolling Hills - August 2020

Hello Volunteers,

Here at Rolling Hills, we are continuing to restrict

visitors for the health and safety of our residents. Due to this, we are not able to

host an in-person Volunteer Appreciation this year.

Instead, I am planning a drive-by volunteer

appreciation. Please see the enclosed invitation for

details.

AND WASH YOUR HANDS WHENEVER THEY LOOK DIRTY!

To properly wash your hands, follow these simple steps:

Wet your hands with warm water and apply soap. Rub your hands together vigorous-ly to create a lather. Scrub all surfaces of your hands, including the back of your hands, wrists, and between fingers and un-der fingernails. Keep fingernails trimmed and short. Continue for at least 20 seconds. Rinse your hands well and dry them with a clean paper towel, dispose of paper towel. Use a clean paper towel to turn off the fau-cet and open the door.
