Manchester Voices Indivisible is hosting “Spilling the Tea with Breeda Kelly Miller” on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 6:30pm–8pm, at the KJ House, 312 E Main St, on the heels of her benefit performance for the Community Resource Center.

Breeda will share the inside scoop on how Mrs. Kelly’s Journey Home — her one-woman show, book, and PBS broadcast — happened from her screened-in porch in Manchester. Hint: She used her experience as a caregiver to shine a light on the needs of family caregivers and provide resources for them. She’ll share ideas and thoughts about using art as a way to support, entertain, educate, and inspire others — and to create a successful fundraising event for compatible causes. 

Breeda’s talk will be followed by refreshments and a Manchester Voices Indivisible general meeting featuring an overview of the group for new members and curious visitors. All are welcome. 

Manchester Voices Indivisible is a Peaceful • Nonpartisan • Pro-democracy organization. They can be contacted at info@manchester-voices-indivisible.org
