As part of WDET’s program of community outreach, Detroit Public Radio’s Mike Blank and the Hannan House have been collecting and producing oral histories from senior citizens throughout the region. This collection focuses on Seniors’ contribution to communities through volunteering.
Dorothy Kispert… with the exception of a few years in Africa… has lived in Detroit her entire life. After a successful career in child development, Kispert focused on volunteering. Working with numerous organizations… including the Detroit Zoo, the United Way and her church’s nursing home outreach program… Dorothy Kispert can personally attest to the power of personal connections through volunteering.
