A Note from the Longtree’s!

 

As we enter into our 13th year of business, we want to thank all of you for choosing Longtree for your long-term care educational needs. We have made so many friends and learned so much from each of you!

 

As a special thank you, we will be hosting Celebration of Caring Dinner/ CEU Seminar on April 16th, 2011. The event will start at 4:30pm with the CEU seminar and then we will end the night with a dinner.  Speaker will be Dawn Osterwiel, Executive Director of Sunrise and Ann Ward, former DHSS surveyor and “Top Gun Nurse’ Trainer.

 

It is a great way to reconnect with people you went through your CALA, CMA, CDP, LNHA and CHHA classes.

Former students come as our guests at no charge.

Non-students fee is $20.00.

Please see the attached invitation and reservation.

 

Please feel free to drop in on our Facebook page Longtree Education, share ideas, post any new jobs in your communities or just say ‘hi!”
