"World Aids Day" Free Events at GCC, Dec. 1

Concerned about the welfare of its students and the community, Glendale Community College (GCC) is again hosting activities to mark World AIDS Day on Dec. 1. Free confidential HIV testing, with results in 20 minutes, will be conducted in the Student Union from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. In the Student Union Lounge, speakers and video presentations will run continuously from 11:00 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Videos will include "Living Positive: The Magic Johnson Story," and "Heart of America"--a video diary of the 2002 World AIDS Day by U2's Bono and other celebrities. Speakers on AIDS topics will attend from the American Red Cross and AIDS Project AZ. Free refreshments and information from many organizations that deal with AIDS related issues will be available throughout the day in the Student Union Breezeway.
