There were no speakers and no breakout groups — just a fun time for all on a beautiful, sunny day at our June 14 celebration of the founding of the Virginia Association of Professional Nursing Assistants. The pictures are of our the board of directors — and our birthday cake.

Seeing all those direct-care workers in the same room at the same time was just what the doctor ordered, and it was a sight to behold.

While soaking in the smooth sounds of jazz by Paul Hardcastle, we enjoyed body massages, belly dancing exercises, games, cosmetic makeovers, and lots of good food.

On the serious side, we received a proclamation from the City of Hampton recognizing National Nursing Assistants Week.
