20 years gone by at the AIDS Committee of Guelph

A non-profit organization I volunteer with, the AIDS Committee of Guelph (ACG,) is having a summer barbeque, "20 Years Gone By." The location is not confirmed as of yet, but it will be on Thursday, July 10th, at 12pm and is open to everyone.

As a Public Relations student, I most recently developed a membership campaign for the the ACG. They are hoping to increase membership among clients, volunteers and other interested members of the community. Their membership application form is available online under "Become a Member!"Membership keeps you updated on events, funding and services; helps you become a part of the growing HIV/ AIDS movement; and allows you to attend the Annual General Meeting to vote on the Board of Directors and talk about HIV/ AIDS issues in the community.

With 20 years gone by, the ACG has been dedicated to creating a non-judgemental, friendly atmosphere. With extensive HIV/ AIDS information available, education workshops, support services, and an HIV testing location on site, they reach out and help those with or at risk of HIV, their family members and friends.

They have an annual Red Ribbon Gala, most currently held on May 3rd. The event helps fund the AIDS Committee and Masai Centre. Other ways to donate are available online.
For more information about the organization or HIV/ AIDS awareness, log on to the AIDS Committee of Guelph website.

I recommend learning more about this organization and using it's valuable resources. Remember that 62,000 Canadians are living with HIV/ AIDS.
