Ideas & Uses

Add something to the back. Add your daily activity schedule, birthdays, and special announcements to the back of the Daily Chronicles for a two-sided handout. Go to our Daily Signs page for a daily sign - one for every day of the month. Select from two different options - Adobe PDF and MS Word. Swipe and paste the day's activities from your calendar or type announcements or other information on the sign. Print the sign on the back of your Daily Chronicles.
Make a copy and post it on your bulletin board every morning. It will encourage people to stop by and see what's happening for the day.
Put a copy in a Plexiglas frame and stand it in the lobby for guests and family members to enjoy.
