Band Central Radio 102824 with Marcy Rende/Brian Kelahan (Hope Counseling) and Luisa Viladas (Literacy Volunteers)

My mission is to produce music and content that inspires people to be generous to nonprofits in our community.  Today you will meet local nonprofit leaders Luisa Viladas from Literacy Volunteers and Marcy Rende/Brian Kelahan from Hope Counseling.  Our guests represent the causes of 1) mental health in our community and 2) the importance of helping people achieve adequate literacy to participate in society and achieve their potential.  We also provide an update on Band Central, play Moving On from Rob Fried and Savin' Up For Your Love from Carole Sylvan.  Thanks for listening.

What is Band Central with Rob Fried?

A monthly podcast that aims to entertain and educate listeners about music and causes that enrich your life - a delicious mix of talking and music we call “Fun-philanthropy” or “Fun-lanthropy” - where the desire to improve the welfare of others is combined with fun and music! My mission is to produce music and content that inspires people to feel safe enough to be generous to nonprofits in our Connecticut community.  Generosity spreads love and growth. Each 55 minute episode features musicians and nonprofit leaders for interactive interviews and live performances.
