Friday, June 6th is an important PeaceSmiths event. It’s dedicated to Lisa Fishbein. The MC will be Gary Ivan. Musicians and a Drum Circle. Performers: Andy Greenhouse; George Mann (of George and Julius, and Julius may be there); Lin Giliberti; and Robert Langley leading the drum circle. Also, Richard Barnhard has just created a piece for Lisa Fishbein that he will share. Please come!
