ANNOUNCEMENT: Please join us at 5pm ET TODAY (Wednesday) on Coffee

Party Radio for a discussion with Vicki Robin, author of best-selling

book, "Your Money or Your Life." We need a paradigm shift in how we

relate to money in our culture and in our personal lives. According

Robin, our relationship to money "...encompasses more than just your

earning, spending, debts and savings; it also includes the time these

functions take in your life. In addition, your relationship with money

is reflected in the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that you can

get from your connection to your family, your community and the

planet." For more information on Robin: http://bit.ly/M1iR5 This is

the first event in our discussion series, "Our Money, Our Values & Our

Government." More announcements will be made soon about this series.

You can join in by phone or chat. Downloads will be available.
