Speaking Our Truth, Sharing Ourselves

In honor of National Coming Out Day, Judy Chiasson, mother, teacher, and director of Los Angeles Unified School District?s (LAUSD's) Project 10, will speak on the invisibility of sexual orientation and the vulnerability of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. She will explore the ways each of us can help create an environment where our gay and lesbian youth will blossom and grow. Judy Chiasson taught special education for 20 years, working with severely abused children. Recently she became the director of Project 10, LAUSD's program for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. As the Project 10 Specialist, she ensures that all 1,055 schools are safe and welcoming for the 800,000 students and their families who are served by LAUSD. She is finishing a doctoral program at Claremont Graduate University on the efficacy of LGBT diversity training and is blessed with two daughters who are entering college and planning their futures.

Winter Night's Journey from Country to City:
Exquisite Vocal-Harmony and Vintage Jazz to celebrate the winter season!
 
Tonight, Moira and the ladies of VOCO bring effervescent life to the sweet harmony, grit & stomp of American and East European folksong, original music, music of Béla Bartók with the vaudevillian wonderment of voices, cello, banjo, accordion and ukelele.
 
Doozy's songs of Depression-era cheer transport you to timeless themes of winter: the pursuit of warmth (love?), cheer (liquor?), and happiness, which sometime come in the right amounts in the holiday season.  Their beloved, longstanding residency at uber-stylish Culver Hotel envelopes you in the earthy beauty of Christie Mellor's voice; surrounded by deep musicianship on accordion, jazz guitar, clarinet, saxophone, and stand-up bass.

Spiders, Dragons, Webs, and Churches
Certain things scare us. Things that trigger the cascade of mental, emotional and physiological responses to fear are meant to retard our interactions with danger. But preoccupation with fear leaves us with a spiritually disability–unable to exchange love and understanding at a deep level.

Spirit of Life: Unitarian Universalist Service Committee Membership Sunday

The Unitarian Service Committee played an active role in helping refugees escape the holocaust and internment in concentration camps. Those who were interned, however, found ways to express their wish for freedom and their common humanity. One way was through music.
