Past Events: DASH Fair March 26, 2008 Hundreds of people attended this information fair for the elderly and disabled, held at Spectacular Events Center in Bangor. EMAN was one of many local organizations who gathered together to help get the word out on important topics such as services for the elderly and HIV/AIDS prevention.   2nd Annual Red Ribbon Ball February 9, 2008 Eighty-six people dressed in their finest and came out to the Buchanan Alumni House in Orono, despite the threat of a major snowstorm to "party for a purpose" at the Second Annual Red Ribbon Ball. There was music and dancing with Brian Catell and the Jump City Jazz Band, hors d’oevres, door prizes and a silent auction. The Red Ribbon Ball is EMAN’s largest fundraiser of the year and when the final numbers were tallied, we had netted about $10,000 to go toward services, prevention education and harm reduction materials. Congrats to everyone involved! A special thank you to the volunteers from Alpha Delta Fraternity and Gamma Sigma Sigma Sorority for their invaluable assistance.  World AIDS Day 2007 December 1, 2007 Thank you to everyone who participated in our World AIDS Day 2008 event. Despite the bitter cold, approximately 40 people attended the open house at Hammond Congregational Church where four panels from the National AIDS Quilt were on display, as well as a timeline of HIV/AIDS both nationally and locally. A brief candlelight vigil was held and 200 luminaries were lit to represent the approximately 200 people in the Bangor area living with HIV/AIDS. Stories and articles in the local media can be found on our EMAN in the Media page. Photos from the event can be found HERE.   Maine AIDS Walk 2007 October 13, 2007 The first AIDS Walk in Bangor in over ten years was a HUGE success. Our walk had the largest turn out in the state with approximately 125 people participating and raising a total just shy of $4,400.00! Stories and articles in the local media can be found on our EMAN in the Media page. Photos from the Walk can be found HERE. Huge thank yous to everyone who participated, volunteered, or promoted the event!   Team Lavigne! |
