Welcome "Sunday Salon" listeners. If
you tuned in to the interview with Ellison Horne about Celebrating
Solutions!, we want to hear from you. Please tell us
about your solutions!
|
Celebrating Solutions features how people are making a difference in their communities. See a sample of our showcase of solutions.
Celebrating Solutions is now accepting submissions from this Website.
|
- a first for PBS and United Way of America - is a live multi-site
television event with celebrity presenters, upbeat entertainment,
interactive web programming, and compelling video vignettes
emphasizing exciting solutions to neighborhood problems across
the nation.
The focal
point of Celebrating Solutions! is a neighbor-to-neighbor
exchange of real solutions. With the theme, "Safe and
Healthy Neighborhoods," the broadcast will showcase communities
working together to identify, solve and sustain meaningful
approaches to community problems. The on-going aspect of the
project is embodied in its website, a resource-rich growing
database in which neighbors can both search for and post successful
solutions, like "Create a Park" in the midst of
Silicon Valley's concrete jungle. [read

"When I heard about Celebrating Solutions! I was very
excited. I think it is a vital undertaking if we are
to continue to prosper as a multi-cultural society.
It will promote understanding. It will give hope to
people who have been desperately seeking solutions. I
give it my wholehearted support."

Ellison Horne and his backers are urging newspapers, radio and TV stations to
raise awareness through regular features on community solutions. The Mercury
News has committed to the idea. "It (Celebrating Solutions!) fits with our
mission to report on a diverse community and help it grow and prosper," said David Yarnold, Mercury News executive editor.
