Bob Weir - founding member of the Grateful Dead, Rob Wasserman and Jay Lane make up the "Scaring the Children" trio and will be playing a special acoustic evening concert to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Global Security Institute, on Sunday, November 1st, 2009, at 7:30 PM, at the Napa Valley Opera House, located at 1030 Main Street in downtown Napa, CA. Appearing with Weir's "Scaring the Children" trio will be special guest musician, actress and social activist Lili Haydn, who is often referred to as "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin". The event also includes a mid-afternoon forum entitled "At the Tipping Point: Nuclear Disarmament Challenges and Opportunities Facing Our Global Community". The forum runs from 4:00 to 5:30 PM, and features panelists Kim Campbell, the former Prime Minister of Canada, Ambassador Thomas Graham Jr., and Jonathan Granoff, President of the Global Security Institute. Following the forum is a special VIP pre-concert wine reception beginning at 6:30 PM, featuring Ambassador Graham, Prime Minister Campbell, Bob Weir, Lili Haydn and other surprise guests.
"With the recent developments in Iran, this has been an historic week at the United Nations," explained Ambassador Graham. "The US President chairing a summit of the Security Council and its adoption of a far reaching resolution on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation is extraordinary. Moreover, it is indicative that we are on the road towards a safer planet," Graham added.
"Nukes are the ultimate environmental issue," stated Prime Minister Campbell. "They cannot be used without poisoning the earth, and therefore their use is immoral.”

“California Senator Alan Cranston started the Global Security Institute under the premise that nuclear weapons are unworthy of civilization,” stated Jonathan Granoff.
