BRATTLEBORO — The Board of Directors and staff of the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont acknowledge the generosity of the many individuals and businesses that supported our 26th Annual Walk for Life, helping us to raise an amazing $30,000.

Close to 100 individuals and eight different teams participated enthusiastically in this year's walk. Seven local businesses were our indispensable sponsors, and many other businesses generously provided prizes, food, and assistance. Special thanks to Brendan Taaffe and his colleagues for the lovely music.

Thanks above all to the community for honoring and supporting the work of HIV prevention and direct services for people affected by HIV/AIDS. If you would like to learn more about the work of the AIDS Project, please contact us at 802-254-4444.

I think Patience Merriman is absolutely correct! My wife and I just joined the ACLU and will align ourselves with the organization's works in the coming months and years. Here are other measures: • Speak out against groups that make lists of liberal professors and others.
