Julie Beutel Concert for Peace Celebrates 9th
Anniversary of the Citizens for Peace
The public is invited to celebrate the 9th
anniversary of the Citizens for Peace and enjoy a Concert for Peace with local
peace troubadour Julie Beutel on Tuesday, November 13th at Unity of
Livonia at 7 p.m.
Julie Beutel is a singer, guitarist, teacher, mother, and
peace activist who spent many years living and working in several European and
Central American countries. She worked
with Witness for Peace in Nicaragua
during the war for almost two years. She has performed before 20,000 people in
D.C.; and smaller audiences in her many concerts held in her home, coffee
houses, schools, nursing homes, peace rallies, and numerous fund raisers for
many charities. Julie has the ability to make you cry, laugh out loud, or
squirm. Her voice is beautiful and
rich. Her performances are personal,
intimate and fun. She tells stories,
cracks jokes, and shares her passion for the truth. She loves to sing and
perform more than almost anything else. Her audiences enjoy her and send the
love back in a mutual exchange of joy.
The Citizens for Peace will present their first Compassionate
Citizen Award honoring
Caroline and Jerry Trout.
When Caroline’s cousin and her husband were killed in an accident, they
left five children including a toddler.
Caroline and Jerry adopted all five children to add to their family of
two children. At Jerry Trout’s recent funeral service, their now adult children
expressed their love, gratitude and admiration for both of their parents,
showing that compassionate action is like a boomerang – it comes back to the
sender. Telling stories of local heroes like Caroline and Jerry will hopefully
inspire all of us to act compassionately in our own lives.
Following the concert, the celebration will end with participants
enjoying an anniversary cake.
All are welcome.
