World AIDS Day Commemoration & Quilt Exhibit for 2011
WNCAP will once again bring sections of the AIDS Memorial Quilt to Asheville creating a community exhibit of education and remembrance. The Quilt exhibit will be November 27 – December 3. There will be a Candlelight Memorial Vigil on World AIDS Day, December 1st. Please check back for details, special programs, and location. One of the elements that makes this a very special event is bringing Quilt panels to our exhibit that are requested by people throughout Western North Carolina. If you’d like to request a panel of a friend or loved one please contact George at the WNCAP office. The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a dynamic and special memorial. It travels the world telling the stories of lives lost too soon to a disease that is preventable, a tribute to those we have loved and lost. If you would like to create a panel in memory of a loved one, we’d like to help you. WNCAP is honored to help people who would like to sew a panel for the Quilt. We have volunteers who love to sew and creative people to help you design and create your panel. We meet once a month to help you move forward with your Quilting project. If you’d like to join our Quilting group, or if you’d like to consult with our team, please contact Chris. more on making a quilt panel >>> "Messages to The Quilt" - Here is a small sample of messages received in 2008 and 2009 in the "Messages to the Quilt" book. The book is made available during the display for any who would like to share.
The countdown continues . . . World AIDS Day 2011 >>>
