Making Leis sounds good, but there is already a knitting group.
Any way you got my wife thinking and that's not a bad thing.

Just to put you more in the picture,  there are about a dozen senior citizens at this residency and no-one, but no-one visits them unless they are related and sometimes not even then.
My wife helps out with the thursday coffee mornings and realized that for most of the rest of the week they do nothing. So now she puts on Karaoke afternoons, singalongs and runs a craft afternoon. The old folks love it! 
At the end of the month she's putting on a Karaoke hour. I'll take my laptop down there and plug it into their big tv. Then I'll run the music through a stage amp as the words come up on the tv. They get to singalong with the words cos they're too shy to get themselves up to sing. I'll so the singing for them and hopefully get them to join in with me on the microphone. It's a lot of fun for people in the autumn of their years who would just fade away in their apartments otherwise.

The craft thing involves things like knitting or cross-stitch and such, but my wife Maggie wants to find more things for those who have cateracts or substandard vision.

So there you have it. In the summer we'll be putting on a bbq and at Christmas we want to get everyone dressed up in costumes for an old fashioned music hall singalong.

You have to hear and see their gratutude to believe it. It's just so sad to think that these wonderful old people have all but been abandoned by their relations and just stuck in a place for their last few years. 

Thanks for the suggestions though and for reading all this!
