From Phil Wade:Monday, December 1, is World AIDS Day and there are a number of events happening. Here's information about the two which I know about. Maybe we can share information about other events for that day.
There will be a gathering at the State Capitol from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. There will be speakers, and I assume, a ceremony of some kind to commemorate the lives lost to AIDS.
From 4:00 p.m - 8:00 p.m., there will be a "Prayer Concert" at MCC (Metropolitan Community Church of the Rockies). Over the course of the four hours, there will be a slide show about AIDS history, which will be repeated periodically, music, prayers, and remembrances.
People who attend generally drop by for whatever time they have available. It is a somber time to contemplate the people here, and in the world who we have lost to AIDS, as well as those who still struggle with HIV. Usually, there is some food available in Taylor Hall, which is the room next to the church. Everyone is welcome to be part of this commemoration. MCC is on the corner of Clarkson and E. 10th Ave.
