JEFFERSONVILLE, NY — Friends of Recovery Sullivan and the Kingfisher Project at WJFF public radio are co-hosting a “Day of Recording” on Saturday, October 15 at WJFF’s Jeffersonville studios.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., members of the public are invited to attend an open house at the station at 4765 State Rte. 52. Anyone who wishes to record the story of how their life has been impacted by addiction is invited. Volunteers will be on hand to help record and interview. The organizations hope to hear from people in recovery, people who are still using heroin or opiates, family members who have been affected, people who work on the front lines, people who are in positions of power or influence and all others with a story to share.

Participants are asked to talk about three topics: 1) What brings you here, what is your story? 2) What are the hurdles you face or have faced in trying to get help? 3) What one change should be made to the system so that people can get into sustainable recovery? Recordings should be four to eight minutes each—that is approximately one to three pages of text for those who are writing their stories ahead of time. The Kingfisher Project at WJFF, a radio show in honor of Rebecca Pisall who lost her life in the heroin epidemic, plans to air the recordings as part of its regular 8 p.m. Monday night broadcast on 90.5 FM.

If you or someone you know wishes to tell their story on October 15, send an email to kingfisherwjff@gmail.com or call 845/807-7510. Walk-ins are more than welcome. If you need a ride, call 845/701-9422.
