Address: 1078 Third Avenuee SW, Carmel, IN 46032 Telephone: 317 815-7000 Fax: (317) 815-7000 Contact Person: Sandy Stewart Email: sstewart(&primelifeenrichment.orp, APPLICATION AMOUNT: $ 6,854 Not to exceed 1/3 of previous year revenue/income DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED USE OF THE GRANT FUNDS: Honoring the Amazons! (Women of WWII) Everyone knows about the USO Gals and the Rosie Riveters on the Homefront, but less is known about the women who served in the armed forces. While they did not fight in combat, they were often stationed in battle zones, risking their lives while providing essential services. Left: Aileen Cloonan Right: Judy Armstrong Aileen Cloonan and Judy Armstrong, now aged 94 and 79, are just two of PrimeLife's members who served in the armed forces. Like every soldier, each woman has a story to tell and PrimeLife Enrichment (PLE) would like to make sure they are heard and appreciated! We have much to learn from these valiant, dedicated women, so propose the development of a multi -media presentation to share their wisdom and experiences throughout our community. Dee Timi, PLE's Activities Coordinator, has a BA in Speech and Theatre. In addition to her work at PLE, she is a Director and Board Member for Carmel Community Players, and an accomplished playwright. Dee's time at PLE has afforded her the unique privilege of hearing the impressive stories of our female members who served in WWII, Vietnam, or the Korean conflict, and the opportunity to accompany one to Washington for her Indy Honor Flight! We believe that the stories of such extraordinary women need to be told. We can learn a great deal from these mavericks who felt compelled to leave hearth and home to serve their country. They were not drafted; they volunteered. They were not part of a trend; they were pathfinders. Arts Grant Program Funds are requested to allow PrimeLife to create a half hour multi -media presentation, including an original play to be performed by volunteer actors (including the Amazons whose stories are being told) supported by a screened audio visual production featuring images and period music. Grant funds would be used to purchase necessary equipment and to temporarily increase Dee's hours (currently part-time and devoted to the planning and implementation of the Senior Activities program) to allow her time to write, design and develop "Honoring the Amazons." Once the production is complete, Dee and other volunteer actors will take the show on the road – performing at local senior living communities, long-term care facilities, assisted living centers, veterans' organizations and schools. There would be no charge for the performance, though donations would be accepted for PrimeLife Enrichment's Senior Activities Program. Should any admission be charged by any performance venue, PILE would receive a percentage which would be allocated to support the Enrichment Center programming that is honored to serve the Amazons.
