COMPLETED RCRV PROJECTS

Heritage Area on Aging requires us to have an annual audit.  We are a small agency that does not have a large sum of money for annual audits.  RCRV was referred by Heritage to do this audit.  It needs to be performed in the near future at our convenience.  Our treasurer will be gone on vacation until October 6th, wo we prefer it be done after this date.

If you need more informqation, please feel free to contact me, Elda M. Licht, Voluteer Coordinator.

RSVP is in need of Marketing help.  For more information, contact Sarah Case at 369-8774.

I have a total of 8 students that I have divided into 2 teams of 4 (1
student will be the alternate team member at the local competitions).  Our
class meets on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-10:30 and on Friday afternoons
from 1:30-2:30.  Our school is registered for the competition and we have
received the materials.  A few of my students are already familiar with Sim
City 3000 as they have it at home.  I have also been collecting materials to
use for the cities.

If you are interested in helping us, please contact me by email at
jpiehl@marion.k12.ia.us or by phone 377-9401 ext. 4417.  The students don't
have school on Friday and I will be gone to a day long workshop that day.
Otherwise, I will be at school the rest of this week.

Harding  has a similar activity and their date is Thursday, Nov 7.

Please let Judy know of your interest.

Thank you.

The objective of this project is to provide a target to be used by children with disabilities during gym class.  The target should be usable with a soft 8 inch ball and other similar objects.   Examples of the type of target desired are a basketball style hoop, soccer goal, or bulls-eye target.  When the child successfully puts the ball through the target, a visual (lights) and audible (applause sound or similar) is produced.  For these children, receiving the response is important to their enjoyment and development.

The idea for this project was conceived by Ann Griffin of Grant Wood Area Education Agency and submitted to the Rockwell Collins Retiree Volunteers organization in 2001.  It was designed and fabricated by Jack Murphy in 2002 and 2003.

Related to that, could two switches ( or the switch input) be adapted so they could both perform the same function (ex.-Could they both be make to perform as a left button click) -for a person who tires with one hand and will then try to use the other hand?

There is no urgent deadline for this project.  I plan to attend the 1/09/03 meeting. Thank you

with a remote actuation.

For example, a customer orders a coffee and a strawberry smoothie.  The consumer would identify the 2 pictures they needed to touch, and then a total price would be shown.  Then, if the customer pays with a couple dollars, the display would show the change required.

Also, we may have 15-20 different items available at our 'shop', so there would need to be room for several picture choices.

Thank you for your help.

Concerned Inc has a client that has limited use of hands.  He is in a motorized wheelchair.  He would like to work more than he is able to at this time.  He has difficulty picking up small objects and placing them in a poly bag.  They need some type of devise that will permit this peson to pickup these small objects and then place them in a bag.  A video showing him trying work will be here shortly.

Goal: to help people with limited fine motor skills to participate in a contract that places rivets in holes of metal bars.

Dimensions: small enough to fit on wheelchair trays

4/1/03:  We have a request for one more rivet dispenser identical to the one Russ S. completed for us earlier this year. We have another set of consumers who could benefit from this in a different area of the facility.

Nicole would like an easel built as a combination of the two pictures that I have.  I will email copies to you The easel needs to be tallenough and wide enough on the top to hold chart paper.  On the bottom half she would like to store big books.  She does not want a little pen holder shelf kind of thing as it makes it hard to turn pages of big books during shared reading.

The purpose of the documentation is to allow museums outside the U.S. to build copies of the exhibit while incorporating adaptations.  For most items, great precision is not required, since the builders will want to adapt to local materials, requirements, and tastes.

We need to have all measurements made and pictures taken of the exhibit by the time the exhibit is packed for shipment.  The exhibit will be on display until 1/28/06, and will be packed for shipping between 1/29/06 and 2/1/06.  We may want to gather data and pictures while the exhibit is being disassembled for packing.

We need to deliver the final documentation to the Exploratorium in San Francisco on or before 4/1/06.

We will document using metric dimensions except in special cases where English-standard items are required by the design.

The documentation to be produced will include:
* Bill of Materials for each major item.
* Drawings (or photos) of each major item, with overall dimensions and key elements indicated.
* Specifications (generally, manufacturer and model number) of OEM parts.
* Photos of pertinent features such as walls, label locations, maintenance access, and assembly details.
* Up to five part drawings, per major item, of critical elements.

We will NOT document the following:
* Graphics text
* Graphics layout
* Floor plan
* Cost information
* User manuals
* Warranty information
* Availability or delivery time of any item or material
* Sources or vendors for any item
* Details or specifications for any living organisms
* Original design documents

Thank you - greatly.

A ROM to move the ramp to the side of the deck, the material cost is $800, actuals are $685.  

a wheelchair bound person may be pushed up a ramp onto the

platform plus a separate swing seat also mechanically attached to the same platform whose occupants would produce simultaneous movement.
