Veterans Day: Premiere of Vietnam Veterans documentary

On Monday, November 11 at 2 pm, the Chelsea District Library will premiere their sixth community history documentary, "Vietnam Veterans" as part of Chelsea's annual Veterans Day event at the Comfort Inn Conference Center.

In this latest film, filmmaker Rob Coelius of Video Farm Productions documents a collection of perspectives of the war as told by Chelsea area men who fought in Vietnam. It was created to collect recorded interviews with veterans of the Vietnam War as a way of preserving their stories and experiences for future generations. The goal of the project is to capture the stories of our town. Among the interviews you'll see are John Glidewell, Milton Wood, Tom Zatkovich, Tom Power, Norman Wetzel, Walt Herndon, Tom Heidtman, Gary Maynard, Dennis Stoffer, Craig Maier, Michael Muha, Jim Alford, Keith Haab, Tony Keezer, Dennis Schumann, Rod Anderson, and Tom Steele

Following the premiere, both the documentary will be available for online streaming at StoriesofChelsea.org.

Vietnam Veterans was made possible by the generous support of the Friends of Chelsea District Library, VFW Post 4076, American Legion Post 31, as well as the contributions of many private donors.

ABC's of Literacy Tutoring

Becoming a literacy volunteer creates many opportunities: helping an adult to read, teaching English skills to non-native speakers, even learning new things yourself. The first step to becoming a volunteer tutor with Washtenaw Literacy is to attend a one-hour informational session, the ABCs of Literacy Tutoring. These engaging sessions provide interested folks with all the information they need to decide how they would like to become involved.
