Volunteer Opportunities or "Things I can do With My Puppets":
The Oakwood Rehab and Skilled Nursing Center - Trenton
Attn. Memory Care Activity, Director: Anna Datsun
5500 Fort St.
Trenton, MI 48183
(734) 671-3500 This is probably the central number. You would need to ask for
Memory care or Anna Datsun.
She is trying to set up an activity program for the memory care residents, with
entertainment, including puppet shows. These places usually have minimal if any
budget, so it is a good volunteer opportunity for someone. The residents respond to
familiar stories and songs, and like "meeting" the puppets up close.
Annabel is happy to talk to anyone who wants to explore the possibility. Her e-mail
address is annabelgriffiths@sbcglobal.net.

The Peace Through Puppets project is providing puppets to our soldiers in Iraq so
that they can work more easily with elementary school children whose schools they
are rebuilding. The website for that is www.peacethroughpuppets.com. It has info and
simple patterns for making puppets.

Make your own event and have it broadcasted on Pleasant Ridge Cable TV.
I can broadcast your puppet show of RECYCLING with your credits listed on Cable
TV in the City of Pleasant Ridge. There is a possibility that other members of the
Southeast Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority ( www.socrra.org) may
want to broadcast your puppet show on their station too. Send in your DVD or film to
Ted Zachary - phone# 248-547-0438.
