Cards with Colby
Taught by Mary Roderique
Ages 6-9 (Entering K-3), 15 students
Thursday, July 9, 2009 (one session): 6-7:30pm
Dogs brighten our lives—and so does mail. Come write an old-fashioned pen-and-paper letter. Colby the Service Dog, also known as 826michigan’s Volunteer of the Month for May 2009, is ready to help. Be sure to pack an address or two so you can send your letter or card at the workshop. Colby will bring the stamps. We will drop our mail into the mailboxes at the Post Office on Liberty at the end of the workshop.
After working as a classroom teacher in New York City and Bloomington, IN, Mary Roderique moved to Ann Arbor for the desirable weather conditions. She works as a Writing Workshop Consultant for teachers in Michigan and Indiana and also works with Colby the Service Dog to lead a Canine Assistants’ National Volunteer program, Noah’s Team of Ann Arbor. Mary, her husband Blaine, son Francis, daughter Claudia, and the ever-charming Princess Coco-bean enjoy snowshoeing and Thai cuisine—though not at the same time. When not thinking about 826 workshops, Mary can be found supporting local cupcake establishments.
Colby is the best dog, ever, hands down. And no, you can’t have her.
