AIDS Quilt on Display

Visitors had an opportunity to view 128 panels from the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display from October 30 to November 2 in the Emerson Suites. The 3-by-6-foot panels were sewn by friends and loved ones as a way to reflect on the lives of those who have died of AIDS. Begun in San Francisco in 1987 by the NAMES Project Foundation, the AIDS quilt is a way to increase public awareness of AIDS and provide a creative means for remembrance and healing. Worldwide over 12 million people have visited the quilt. For more information on the quilt, including where to submit a panel, visit www.aidsquilt.org.
