Puppets come to Optimist meeting.....


FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM...
President Dale Arnold took some time out of his busy schedule to come and do a program for the month. As I (Christy) ran the meeting for him, he brought two of his fellow workers and came in for a short program on his puppets. Those of us in attendance enjoyed the program and this is what we got from it.

Dale has been doing this for about 20 years and when he has programs it is usually a family affair as the others help with the puppets and sounds. This Fire Prevention Program is definitely the best children's program I have seen and as adults, I could see we all enjoyed too. The feedback he gets from these program is always on a positive note and Dale does a great job. He said his biggest audience was his family, which he practices on. He has 7 different programs and the puppets names are: Fire Fighter Frank, Christy, Stan, Elvis the Hound Dog, Zack and Ernie. He didn't have all of the characters with him but we did get to see 4 of them today. Two were in his program and Danni showed those of us who were there early the other two. Dale does his programs when he can and usually has a waiting list and I can see why. Today, the puppets spoke on what to do if kids should find matches. I would love to have him at the Santa House to entertain the kids waiting to go and see Santa but the weather would not be ideal for an outside event. OH well, just a thought. So our hats are off you Dale and Puppets, you did a great job.

This puppet is explaining what needs to be done with if matches are found.

Danni had this puppet singing to an old song as a practice before the meeting.
