World AIDS Day: Experience the AIDS Memorial Quilt in Yountville, December 1

Sections of the internationally celebrated AIDS Memorial Quilt – the 54-ton, handmade tapestry that stands as a memorial to more than 700,000 lost to AIDS in the United States– will be on view on December 1, 2019 at the Community Center in Yountville, CA from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. This free community display of The AIDS Memorial Quilt is done in partnership with the Town of Yountville and LGBTQ Connection.

This is especially important as rates of the disease’s spread are still concerning—even as new and very effective methods for treatment and prevention are becoming more widly available.

Everyone of all ages is invited to experience the quilt in Napa County. There will be opportunities to join other volunteers in the reading of the names of people we have lost to AIDS during the display. We will also accept new AIDS Memorial Quilt panels or help you get started on making a new submission. Local resources for prevention, testing, treatment, and community support will be offered. Stories of how HIV and AIDS have impacted local people will also be part of this special afternoon.

For more information on the upcoming display in Yountville, please call Michael Berg at (415) 515-4090.
