Instead of using hand puppets, club members made costumes so that there could be a human “Gerald Giraffe,” “Toolip Pig,” “Fiona Fox,” “Penny Panda” and “Martin Monkey.” On March 11, the puppets pre sented a program to the folks and staff of Highland Hills Independent Living and Personal Care Center. They talked with the residents about how to keep their brains active and their bodies healthy and moving. Knee pain? Hip pain? Physical Therapy At M.R.S.
