About AIDS
Educational Fun-Fest Set for Sept. 27
By Sandy Bartlett, Fri., Sept. 19, 2003
have a blast while learning about the ins-and-outs of HIV/AIDS? With free lunch, no less! That's just what's planned for the "Summer of Strength" festival on Saturday, Sept. 27.
Summer may technically be over then, but the weather should still be great for volleyball, eating, and chatting with people from community resource organizations. It's amazing how much help there is in Austin for HIV-positive folks and their families, but they may not know where to go to get it. Here's a chance to find out! There also will be free hemoglobin testing to detect HIV-related anemia, a major reason why poz-people often feel worn out.
Goodie bags, gift baskets, caps, and T-shirts will be provided free, and lunch will be served at 12:30pm. The event will be held at Kleberg Hall, behind St. George's Episcopal Church on Ardenwood at the east frontage road, from 11am to 3pm (St. George's is just southeast of the intersection of Airport and North I-35).
