WORLD AIDS DAY -- FRIDAY, DEC. 1

In case you didn't know, World AIDS Day is Dec. 1. If you're in Indy, here's something local to do.

WHEN: Friday, December 1, 2006; 6 - 7 p.m. Reception to follow.

WHERE: Jesus Metropolitan Community Church, 2950 E. 55th Place.

WHAT: The Circle City HIV/AIDS Coalition will host an evening memorial service designed to raise awareness and remember Hoosiers lost to HIV/AIDS. Local AIDS activists, clergy and concerned citizens all will take part in the program. The Indianapolis Men's and Women's Choruses will perform, in addition to Brenda Williams. Panels from the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt will be displayed.

COST: FREE!

Not in Indy or can't make the event Friday night? Check out (Product) Red at www.joinred.com (one of my friends on myspace) for information about more global events; www.aidsfund.org for National AIDS Fund; or www.indianaaidsfund.org for Indiana AIDS Fund.

AND I'm also on a committee to sell Endangered Species chocolate bars to support SPOTLIGHT 2007, a benefit for the Indiana AIDS Fund scheduled for late April. Please buy my chocolate! $5 per bar, each bar has a coupon for $5 off the ticket price for Spotlight. I'm also on the marketing committee, so expect a few more e-mails about that when it gets closer.
