World AIDS Day is December 1, 2007

World AIDS Day was observed on December 1, 2007 at the Museum of Latin American Art hosted by Long Beach AIDS Foundation and it's 14 collaborative partners.

We want to apologize to all those people who could not get in to the World AIDS Day event to see the high-tech multi-media event.. The Foundation estimated that 250-350 people would attend this year's event. Unfortunately, we filled the Balboa room to 450 people and the Museum had to turn away 250 people. That's 700 people or a 10-fold increase over last year, but we figure that's good problem to have for once.

The event-filled evening included the museum, a multi-media spectacular, reception, final round art scholarship competition, silent art auction, health fair, food and beverage, free HIV testing, dancing and live entertainment by Culture Shock LA, Folklorico Ballet, Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre Group and the Cambodian Community Dancers.

A Resource Guide was developed that included all local resources for HIV/AIDS services and programs in the local service provider area (SPA 8). Additional copies are available while quantities last*
