ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS WEEK 25-29

Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative Professionals Day, Wednesday, April 27, 2016 call attention to the important workplace role of administrative professionals. Administrative Professionals Day/Week was originally organized in 1952 as “National Secretaries Week” by the National Secretaries Association (now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals) in conjunction with public relations executive Harry Klemfuss and a

consortium of office product manufacturers. It was established as an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions in the workplace, and to attract people to secretarial/administrative careers. The association successfully campaigned U.S. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer to proclaim the ﬁrst National Secretaries Week on June 1-7, 1952. He designated Wednesday, June 4, as National Secretaries Day. Sawyer, Barrett and Woodbridge participated in ceremonies held in Washington, D.C.

The idea began with Mary Barrett, president of the National Secretaries Association, now called IAAP, and C. King Woodbridge, president of Dictaphone Corporation. They served on a council addressing a national shortage of skilled office workers. Together with Harry Klemfuss, public relations account executive at Young & Rubicam, they originated the idea for a National Secretaries Week.

Is Your Home Working For You?

The home we have lived in for years may be the same; however, the person is not. Being able to remain at home with greater safety and independence is a key priority for aging individuals and their families. Simple home modiďŹ cations and use of adapted equipment can assist in fall prevention. Millions of older people are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries every year. Falls within the home can cause broken bones, head injuries including brain bleeds, and can signiďŹ cantly increase ones fear of falling which can lead to completing fewer daily activities, weakness, isolation, and depression. There are many ways you can prevent falls. First, visit with your physician to discuss concerns, review your medicines, and evaluate your fall risk. Second, schedule and complete an eye exam. Lenses which are no longer adequate for our eyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs can lead to impaired depth perception when reaching for items or transferring from chair to chair. Third, complete strengthening and balance training through therapy to signiďŹ cantly decrease your fall risk. Lastly, implement home modiďŹ cations to increase safety and independence. Home modiďŹ cations range from simple to complex

depending on your needs and home set-up. The bathroom, a room which most commonly needs modifying, can be adapted in a few short steps using locally available items. Items such as grab bars in and around the shower and toilet will assist with transfers, a shower-transfer seat within the tub-shower will allow a person to remain seated, and using a long handled shower head during showering will help ease fear of falling in a slippery area. Modifying your home does not have to be done alone however; trained staďŹ&#x20AC; are available to create a home which best ďŹ ts your needs.

Looking for the unusual! Submitted by Manchester Chamber of Commerce

Do you do anything unusual? Juggle or ride a unicycle or a real tall bike? Make something that few people make? Or have an unusual hobby? An unusual collection? Do you have great-granddadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil war rifle or great-grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spinning machine? Every year, Manchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rhubarb Fest Committee looks for new attractions, ideas, and energy to make the Rhubarb Fest more interesting and entertaining. What you do, or have, may not seem special to you, and it may not be a center-stage type attraction, but it might be one of those things that people find interesting or that will bring a smile to some faces. Contact Jack or Doris at the Chamber (563-9207-4141) and visit with them about all working together to celebrate Manchester!
