This is an interview about a Connecticut event to benefit the recovery community. It is about the arts, their writing and performance art, but also about getting deserving people jobs.

Dori Smith of Talk Nation Radio interviews Marge and David Schneider in this half hour Connecticut Special. Listeners will know the Schneider's as regional peace activists who coordinate highly successful concerts and other fund raising events in order to promote peace and human rights. They have done world music events on Africa, they are also concerned about the Middle East, and they have become especially well known for efforts to promote human rights in Darfur.

This time they have organized a CELEBRATION in Willimantic Connecticut. Contact them about tickets at: 860-872-6899 or write to margedavidpeace@yahoo.com

The CELEBRATION will take place on October 9th at the Capital Theater at 896 Main Street in Willimantic, CT. This will be the culminating event for the CooperARTive fiesta that will be going on all day October 9th on Main Street where people can workshop on trading their skills cooperatively. The CELEBRATION is a chance to combine good work, getting deserving people jobs, with appreciation of the arts and great entertainment as Willimantic celebrates the advancement of people in the recovery community.

The CELEBRATION begins in the evening at 6:00 PM when doors open to the Capital Theater. In the lobby will be, along with the auction previews, a silent auction where people can place their bids on numerous gift items and gift certificates.
