Money is always an issue for small non-profits and Being Alive is no exception. August and September will be difficult. I don't want to make dire predictions of impending closureit isn't the casebut, I would appreciate it if subscribers would look at the enclosed brochure and consider making a donation. For those of you who pick this newsletter up at one of the many locations in Los Angeles County and beyond, I ask that you consider the value of this newsletter to you, a partner, a friend or a patient, and subscribe. The newsletters that Being Alive and Women Alive produce are our single greatest expense, and subscriptions help make it possible to continue and to send copies to low-income PWAs at no charge.
All help is appreciated.
Enough about money. Let's talk about programs. Being Alive is involved in two new collaborations with other AIDS Service Organizations. This is being done in collaboration with Bienestar, the LA Gay and Lesbian Center, the Asian Pacific Islander AIDS Intervention Team, and the Black Lesbian and Gay Leadership Forum AIDS Prevention Team. Each program will conduct a moderated chat on the line at specific times, targeting specific groupswomen, Asians, Latinos, African Americans.
