GREAT TIME
Thanks to all the folks who worked to make the June Picnic at Diane’s a fun event: the cookers, the drivers, the sailors! And the weather gods for cooperating! Everyone had a memorable event. Thanks, Diane & Pete, for hosting it.

Sharing Your Story:
Impacting Lives Through HAVEN’s Speakers Bureau
By Tony Teano
We are currently exploring the possibility of an audio-visual exhibit for display at churches or at a shopping center or a health care facility, etc. The concept involves making a voice recording of your story that lasts for about five minutes. An image of or about the speaker (like a photograph of your hands holding a red ribbon or a silhouette or something else suitable) would go along with it and both would be used in an interactive display. I am looking for about eight people who represent different parts of the community, ages, genders, sexual orientations, etc., to show that HIV affects everyone. Please contact me ASAP if this appeals to you.
