Already thinking about September, even though many of the kids are still in school!
The 27th annual AIDS Walk for Life is slated for Sunday, September 23, starting 9 a.m. on the State House lawn. Actually registration is 9 a.m. and the walk kicks off at 10.
This is a fundraiser for AIDS Project RI, which is a division of Family Service of RI.
Right now we're looking for people to put together walk teams to help us raise money for AIDS Project RI's important work caring for people living with HIV/AIDS, and its work preventing transmission of HIV.
Special salute to First Lady Stephanie Chafee, this year's honorary chair. Barbara Morse Silva from NBC 10's morning show will emcee.
By the way, in addition to raising money, this is an awareness-raiser about HIV/AIDS issues, including HIV prevention. Also, many of the walkers do so in honor of lost loved ones.

Late September is one of the best times of year in New England. Hope you'll get out and join us in this 2.5 mile walk to fight AIDS.
Special thanks to all past walkers.
As the old song goes, we'll "see you in September."
