At AIDS Community Services, the New Year means exciting new special events just around the corner. Handbag Happy Hour will be a one of a kind cocktail event showcasing designer, celebrity, distinctive and “previously loved” purses that will be auctioned off to trendy divas from throughout Western New York. Handbags from Susan Lucci from All My Children and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have already come in, and trendy clutches, luggage and totes have been donated by local shops such as Modern Nostalgia and Clutch in the Allentown area. Check out Handbag Happy Hour details along with a selection of handbags HERE.

Evergreen Center Update

Work continues throughout the Evergreen Center! The exterior upgrades are done, including fresh paint on the trim and a new wind shelter at the back entrance. Now workers are giving the lobby a brand new paint job and putting the finishing touches on the Wellness Center. They're also installing new efficient light bulbs throughout the building that will result in energy savings of more than $6000 each year.

World AIDS Day 2009

World AIDS Day 2009

Each year on December 1, the world pauses for a day to remember those we've lost to AIDS and renew our commitment to ending the epidemic. This year, AIDS Community Services and the AIDS Network will co-sponsor A World Without AIDS to mark World AIDS Day 2009. The event will feature a display of the Mending of the Hearts Memorial Project, a collection of beautiful fabric panels created to honor people who have died of AIDS. There will also be a press conference and HIV+ speakers. A World Without AIDS will take place on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Evergreen Conference Center, 119 Chippewa Street, Buffalo.
