Chelsea District Library is very excited about our recent grant award from the Michigan Humanities Council to support a WWI Centennial Project. In addition to an installation around town and local history research and preservation, we are interested in providing a variety of programming to commemorate WWI. 

I have found a few leads on my own, but I am hoping there is more out there that I may have missed. I am interested in presenters who can talk about the war itself or also about life and culture during that time. I already have a line on some sock machine knitters who can talk about how they were used to make socks for soldiers during WWI, but other things like that would also be of interest. I would particularly like to find someone to present on Rin Tin Tin. WWI reenactors are also needed. 

Any information you might have on WWI presenters that you could share would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank, 

Keegan
