Mindy serves as the "leader" of the Fun Company.   She actually develops & manages the show, chooses the music, writes the different song lyrics, choreographs the dancing, develops the website and serves as the lead singer.  She also works hard to get the Fun Company in schools and the community to reach as many kids as possible!  But most importantly, she stresses the importance of having FUN - while teaching things that are important in kids' lives!  Mindy has been performing for over 20 years and is often recognized from being previously doing traffic reports on television (WRTV Channel 6) and various Central Indiana radio stations.  Now you can hear her regularly in the mornings and afternoons giving the traffic and chatting with the DJs at Z99.5 FM, 104.5 WJJK FM, 102.5 WMDH, 107.9 the TRACK, Shine 99 FM, Gold 95.9 and X-L 950 AM!   Mindy also hosts various "Hoosier Shopping" Video-On-Demand television segments through Comcast Cable along with acting in tv commercials.  She's also co-hosted television events such as the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, the WFYI PBS Channel 20 Kids Pledge and the Wishard Burn Center telethon.  Prior to this, she was "Commander KC" for the WB4 Kids Club on WTTV Channel 4.  In addition to her media work, Mindy has even cheered/danced for the Indianapolis Colts and the Indiana Twisters.  Mindy is a strong believer in 'getting involved,' which is why she has served as the Guest Speaker at various charity events and actively volunteers for many groups, including the Indpls Senior Center, Big Sisters, the Julian Center, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and the Indianapolis Children's Bureau!  She just loves all the COOL kids she meets...(she even has a little boy of her own too - "Garrett Reid"!).  Mindy can't wait to hear from you!  Email Mindy!

Safety Shelby  has the answers when it comes to being safe and "stayin' alive!"  She loves singing/dancing and has been doing both since the age of 3!!!  She's even won several contests including "Indy's Idol" for 2007!   Now she even leads folks in karaoke on Wednesday and Friday nights as well!  Safety Shelby also understands how combining music with messages leads to better retention ... which is crucial when discussing the potentially life-threatening issues that are all around us.  Safety Shelby especially loves working with kids - as she feels like a kid herself and she has a little boy named Gabe!  She can always be found joking around and making others laugh, all while stressing important safety tips!  Safety Shelby wants you to remember to always wear your safety gear no matter what sport or activity you are doing and to play in safe areas.  So email Safety Shelby about how you practice good judgment and play safe!  

Healthy Heather knows all about eating right and exercising, and how vital they are to growing up healthy and strong!  You can always find her with fresh fruit and veggies for snacks and she loves to work out - whether it be jogging, swimming, biking, roller-blading, jumping rope, walking, or whatever - but especially dancing!   In fact, Healthy Heather has been singing/dancing since the 4th grade and recently joined the group to continue her passion!  She and Safety Shelby were even in Show Choir together in high school!  They even had their little boys just a month apart (Brenton)!   When Healthy Heather isn't working out, she's reading her Fitness/Shape magazines cause she understands how important reading is in exercising your mind!  (even though you'll notice she tends to say some rather crazy off-the-wall things in our show ;) )  Healthy Heather wants you to know that simply walking is great exercise and eating healthy will make you feel better too!     She absolutely loves working with kids and can't wait to hear what you do to keep in shape!  Email Healthy Heather!

Recycle Robyn is not only the most environmentally sound member of the group, she also serves as the "Mom" to the Fun Company ... and to kids everywhere!  (And she's even a grandmother!)  Recycle Robyn serves as Mindy's direct assistant for the group helping in every aspect of the show and all that's involved with the behind-the-scenes work, including promoting it to schools and the community.  You can easily pick her out in the shows as her endless energy lights up the stage regardless of what topic is being discussed as she loves kids and performing.  But Recycle Robyn holds a special place in her heart for protecting our natural resources.  She can always be found showing kids which recycle bins to dispose their contents and she loves to have them share their ideas for conservation!  Email Recycle Robyn!

Caring Cindy could also be called our little "busy bee."  She is such a vital part of the Fun Company, that she has her hands in just about everything!  From helping with promo materials to the backdrop and props to running the sound and even jumping in on some numbers!  And yet with so many responsibilities, she manages them with the greatest of care and always with a loving heart and big smile!   Careful Cindy loves teaching kids about how to improve their self-esteem and believing in themselves since she has a blind child that has had to overcome many of these obstacles himself - and she she looks so forward to hearing what special accomplishments you've had!  Contact Caring Cindy!

 Reid   has been involved with theatre, music and dance for over 15 years, and is thrilled to be the literary part of Mindy and the Fun Company.  He's also one of the featured soloists in the show due to his incredible award-winning voice and stage presence.  Reid has been working with children for many years and is a fun uncle!  Reid is often found teaching piano, voice, drama and tap dancing as well as performing in various musicals throughout Chicago where he now lives.  And his talents don't stop there!  He even created the letters for our backdrop and helps with choreography!  By promoting reading, writing, and the arts, Reid adds a much needed element to the group in a time where literacy leads to success in school ... and in life.  Reid is a part of our program whenever we are in the Chicago or Northwestern Indiana area.  Reid's hobbies are reading, writing, and more reading. He has read more books than he can count and he can't wait to hear what your favorite book is!!!   Email Reid!

Musical Marchelle loves music, drama, dance and anything else that involves creativity and and the Arts!  She’s been doing them all her entire life!  Musical Marchelle is a very talented vocalist and she loves to share her abilities with children everywhere to show them how great being involved with music really is!  That’s why she joined Mindy and The Fun Company in the first place!  It doesn’t matter the type of music either – from Hip-Hop, Rock, to Country/Blues, she loves them all!  Marchelle often sings to her little girl, Kyla, and joins the group whenever they are in the Chicago or Northwestern area - like Reid.  She can often be seen singing at various karaoke places too (she can especially rock out "Boogie Oogie Oogie"!)  Contact Musical Marchelle and tell her about your favorite music!
