GA Voice editor Laura Douglas-Brown was featured on AM 1690 | The Voice of the Arts this week in a bi-weekly segment highlighting upcoming arts and entertainment events and LGBT community news featured in our upcoming issue.
In this week's segment, Laura discusses our cover story, "We are the 99%, too" highlighting LGBT involvement in the Occupy Atlanta movement, our interviews with actress Meredith Baxter and author Gregory Maguire, and upcoming LGBT-specific Halloween events.
Just in time for Halloween, two upcoming Atlanta events are scheduled to raise not just spirits, but also funds for local charities.
First up is Jerusalem House’s annual Carnevale, now in its 11th year. Jerusalem House is the city’s largest and oldest provider of housing for men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS. Slated for Oct. 22 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Carnevale is the organization’s signature fundraiser.
“It is the biggest fundraiser that we produce ourselves for the agency,” says Alex Wan, development directory of Jerusalem House. “It is a costume party, with great music, food, drink and fun. All attendees will enjoy an open bar — cocktails compliments of Grey Goose Vodka and wine provided by HobNob — a buffet, and dancing to music provided by DJ Mike Pope.”
