The AIDS Project Walk for Life is one month away! I am only $70 from making my goal of $500! Howie, my coworker, is only $15 dollars away from $500.
HELP ME BEAT HIM TO THE FINISH LINE! :-D
If anyone is interested in giving, and hasn't yet, thank you for your consideration and remember that the amount is not important. A $5 donation makes a difference. Our funding is increasingly in jeopardy as the year goes on.
In fact, while six months ago we were delighted to learn we had our three year prevention contract signed with the Department of Health (which is what funds my position in TOTAL), we have learned as of a week ago that the three year contract is not as solid as the term "three year contract" would imply. Our federal money could go away at a significant level starting in January. We don't *think* it would go away completely. We honestly don't know.
Joy. So much for job security based on contracts with the federal government.
Anyway, this kind of news makes community fundraising doubly important. If anyone would like to give, please visit my Donation Page at:
Alex's FirstGiving THANK YOU to everyone who has donated. I very much appreciate all the support.
