The club is hosting its annual Slice of Life event November Rebekah McNeill 26 at the Abilities Centre from (905)-439-2399 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. as part of 1892 Baseline Rd. West its continued effort to spread Bowmanville, Ontario awareness of HIV and AIDS “Screenprinting for any occasion” L1C3K3 within the local community. This is the third year the event will be taking place and Joanne Ashley, chairwoman of the Rotary Club of Whitby’s AIDS Action group, is hope- ful that it will be an excellent learning experience for the public once again. Ashley and her AIDS Action team came up with the idea to host the Slice of Life event back in 2011 to help raise awareness about the realities of people who are either infected or affected by the virus within Dur- ham Region. “What I want to achieve is for…everyone to start taking ownership of what is a situation that exists in our own community so much more than people realize. Internationally, there’s always focus of course on Africa and other areas, but we have it in our own community,” said Ashley. She says the event not only raises awareness, but also helps those affected or infected feel a sense of support from the public. “I think it’s important that we show support for them and that we really do let people know that there is a face to AIDS. You’re not just this unknown entity.” As with the previous two years, there will be a group of speakers who have HIV/AIDS or know someone close to them who is either battling it or lost their battle to it in attendance. Although the stories are emotional, the goal is to break down the stereotypes many people have of people with the disease and to demonstrate that anybody can contract the virus no matter their sexual ori- entation, age or social status. There is no cost of admission for the event, but Ashley says that her team along with the AIDS Committee of Durham asks that people bring high- protein food donations in lieu of a cover cost. Cash donations will also be accepted. 14 The Chronicle October 21,2014 Campus DC Dean says goodbye Karen Edwards of Health and Community Ser- en years, she’s very supportive The Chronicle vices. of her staff,” says McGuire. “She Sproul, announced her re- is probably the world’s best How does someone go tirement last spring which takes hugger.
