DETROIT, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Brenda Naomi Rosenberg, the executive
director of the nationally acclaimed Children of Abraham Project leads a panel
discussion called "Give Peace a Shout," sponsored by Women In Communications
(WIC) of Detroit to remember the fourth anniversary of the September 11th
American tragedy.
The event occurs at 6 p.m., September 14 at the Arab American National
Museum (http://www.theaanm.org ), 13624 Michigan Avenue in Dearborn.
Panelists include Rosenberg (http://www.nccj.org ), recipient of Women in
Communication's most recent Vanguard award for communication excellence, along
with Lisa Lapides-Sawicki, co-director of Youth Under Construction
(http://www.youngpop.com ), a positive hip-hop movement, and Jackie Perreca.
She directs marketing at Blue Moon Partners, and led publicity efforts for a
Michigan fundraiser for Seeds of Peace (http://www.seedsofpeace.org ), the
nonprofit organization that is dedicated to empowering young people from
conflict regions, primarily the Middle East, with the leadership skills
required to advance reconciliation and coexistence.
Women In Communications highlights three communicators who use their
consummate time and talents to bring conversations for peace that bridge
political, geographic, religious and social lines. Together they help
southeast Michigan journalists, publicists and marketing coordinators to
discuss the concept: "Give Peace a Shout."
The Children of Abraham Project, under the auspices of the National
Conference for Community and Justice and the University of Michigan Arts and
Citizenship Program is currently producing a documentary for international
distribution. The poignant discussions that take the form of improv theater
and audience participation have propelled the group to appear in a CBS special
and productions in schools, religious centers and community theaters. Its
goal is to foster peace and dialog.
The cost is $30 for members and $40 for guests, including light appetizers
and a tour of the museum. Call the WIC reservation line at (248) 652-1420,
for more information.
