About Our Place at the Table
To celebrate the Inauguration of President Obama, we are
holding a special training, Our Place at the Table, on January 19 at the Hotel Monaco at 11:00 a.m., that will
focus on how to work with the new administration.
Please note: Included with registration for the training are
tickets to the AIDS Community Inauguration Reception being held the evening of
January 19.
The reception is being sponsored by National AIDS Fund and
the National Minority AIDS Council, along with national co-sponsors American
Academy of HIV Medicine, CAEAR Coalition, CHAMP, Gay Men’s Health Crisis, HIV Medicine
Association, MAC AIDS Fund, National AIDS Housing Coalition, National Association of People
with AIDS, National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, San
Francisco AIDS Foundation, Southern AIDS Coalition, Title II Community AIDS
National Network, and local community-based organization co-sponsors, including
AIDS Alabama, Family Health Project, Harlem
United, Iris House and Joseph’s House, to celebrate the Inauguration of
President-Elect Obama and to honor the work of the HIV/AIDS community.
These are difficult financial times - and our reception will
reflect that reality. Tickets are free to everyone who wishes to attend. We
want the AIDS community to be part of this historic moment, but we also worry
about the state of our economy. This is not a fundraiser; tickets are being
provided free to Our Place at the Table attendees.
There will be a cash bar and limited food. We will keep
things somber, but appropriate. Additional information about the reception is
available here.
Inauguration will be held the following day, January 20.
