We need all the help we can get. Volunteers will help spread the quilts on the floor of the Convocation Center, participate in a project to continuously read the names of AIDS victims during display hours and help coordinate AIDS educational videos and materials. The opening ceremony is from 7 to 8 p.m. May 2, with a quilt on display from 8 to 10 p.m. The quilt also will be exhibited from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 4 and 10 a.m. to noon May 5, with the closing ceremony from noon to 1 p.m. May 5.
All events are free and open to the public.
Many of the panels in the display were created by Ohio residents, including families from southeastern Ohio, Kopchick said. We have now been living with HIV and AIDS for 20 years. We hear statistics and forget about the people behind the statistics and the fact that this syndrome can impact and affect anybody. To volunteer during the quilt's visit to campus, call Kopchick at 593-4742.
