As you may already know, I'm once again on the AIDS Walk & Ride's marketing committee.
It's less than one month until the 2008 Indiana AIDS Walk & Ride, SATURDAY, Oct. 11 in downtown Indianapolis starting at the War Memorial in University Park (corner of Meridian and Vermont streets).

Get the details, volunteer, sign up, or join a team at the official Web site, www.indianaaidswalk.org OR ADD the AIDS Walk & Ride to be your myspace friend (you'll also get info/updates on Spotlight, the Spring fundraiser). I may end up starting/joining a team, but for now I'm listed as an individual.

Also, MACY'S is doing "Shop for a cause" on Saturday, Sept. 20, for a number of charities--I think it's a national event for the store. The Shop for a Cause coupons to benefit the Indiana AIDS Walk & Ride--at $5 each--will be on sale at the Glendale and Castleton (Indianapolis area) MACY's that day, depending on who volunteered at what store and at what time. I'm scheduled to sell coupons at Glendale 12-2 p.m. 9/20

For $5 buyers of the coupons can get 10-20 percent off MOST items in the store AND the $5 goes back to the Indiana AIDS Fund to support the walk (The Indiana AIDS Fund also has coupons available for purchase, www.indianaaidsfund.org for contact information)

AND on Sept. 20, English Ivy's, 944 N Alabama St., Indianapolis, IN 46202 is going to give part of their proceeds to support the AIDS Walk team of Greg's, Metro, Club Indianapolis, and English Ivy's (GMCI). More information: (317) 822-5070. And their food is superb (and it's a bar, so good drinks too). :)

Even though this effort supports a specific team -- GMCI is usually the winning team in terms of money raised -- the money does all go to the direct emergency fund assistance program for people living with HIV/AIDS all over Indiana.

Hope to see you at the walk/ride and again, check out the official site for more information, www.indianaaidswalk.org.
