NEXT THURSDAY: Broadway Cares To Host Public Meeting On AIDS Survivorship
Last night I went to the Broadway Cares planning session for next week's public forum on AIDS survivorship where I'll be one of the panelists. In the left foreground of the above photo is Tony winner Stephen Spinella, who will be the evening's host. On the right is famed activist and panelist Peter Staley. At the head of the table is HIV researcher Dr. Perry Halkaitis, the panel's moderator, and to his right is event organizer John Voelcker. More details:
The Medius Working Group presents a free community forum to assess what it’s like to be part of the “AIDS Generation,” to have lived through the epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s and how those experiences have affected the lives we’ve led since then. The evening begins at 7 pm with an excerpt from the Oscar-nominated documentary How to Survive a Plague, followed by a panel at 7:15 pm and an open discussion at 8:30 pm.We've been told that over 400 people have already registered for the event, which will be held at 7pm next Thursday at Baruch College's Mason Hall in Gramercy Park. Hit the free registration link. It would be great to have a lot of JMG folks in the house.
