The idea came from a brain storming session about ways that the Assisted Living Federation of America could celebrate its 20th Anniversary and their continuous focus on-
Choice • Independence • Dignity • Quality of Life
The idea involved a nationwide talent search, writing an original song, and flying individuals who work in assisted living from all over the country to Washington, D.C., for a recording session.
Susan Vasquez, the Director of Marketing for our Heritage Woods of DeKalb affordable assisted living community in DeKalb, Illinois, was honored to be one of the 12 who were selected to participate.
“It was enjoyable to put your mouth where your money comes from and sing a very meaningful song,” says Susan, who sang in her high school choir.
For the talent search, Susan says, she submitted a recording of “The Rose,” which is the “song I sang to my husband when we got married.” Her stepson, who is in a band, “came over and recorded it for me.”
The original song entitled “Every Day” premiered earlier this week, kicking off the Assisted Living Federation of America’s 2010 National Conference (alfa.org).
