11B REGIONAUThe Charlotte Post Thursday, May 1,1997 AIDS Books are stars at Livingstone College event awareness program Continued From 10B is 12 years. “This is a very serious syn drome,” Jef&ies said. “If you get this disease, it’s just like being handed a death sentence. “There is no way back from it.” defines said the community as a whole must take precautions to stop the spreading of this dis ease. “Tb reach our youth and other uneducated individuals, we have to involve youth groups, the church, community centers, and implement many types of pro grams in Rowan County to get everyone on the same page on preventing this disease,” she said. Vivian Norman, chairperson of the AIDS awareness program and nurse at Rowan regional, concurred with Jefferies. “Education is a must in this day and time,” Norman said. “It’s real and most of the people who are affected don’t care any thing about affecting someone else. I know because I see it every day at work.” Norman said that though AIDS may be the most deadly, many kids report to the Medical Center to rid themselves of sexu ally transmitted diseases. Jefferies concluded by saying the community can no longer afford the luxury of distancing itself from the disease. “We can’t just see this problem and reahze how it is affecting our kids and relatives, and just stick our face in the sand,” she said. “We must get up, get out and educate our people about this disease.” Events Continued From 10B May 4 • 3 p.m. - Women’s Day, Rose of Sharon Holiness Church, 255 Camp Road, Salisbury.

Continued From 10B “The entire process would work with just a little commu nity action, and we were over joyed to be receiving so much attention.” Teachers weren’t the only ones to take part in the festi val. Livingstone athletes and students sponsored games to keep the kids occupied. Students share love of reading by helping each other at book fair Each group came up with something fascinating because local kids of all ages stood in lines to play scoop ball, mouse trap, relays, fiisbee, and take horseback rides as well as lis ten to storytelling sessions. Lament Baird, a Livingstone Junior, said that although many Livingstone students were doing this for a class, the love that all of them share for kids would have brought them out to the festival anyway. “We wanted to put our school back in the involvement of the community,” the sports man agement major said. “We wanted the kids to see us (col lege students) out here having fun with them, and at the same time stressing the impor tance of education and read ing. “It’s the kind of stuff I want to do with inner city kids for j years to come, just keeping the . environment lively and telling " youth how they can better, themselves with a good educa tion.” The Trojan Legion Drill team, the Trojanettes, and' Bam Bam Productions of Knox Middle School performed and ' participated as well. 631 North Tryon Street Charlotte, NC 28202 (704)333-8899 Individualized attention to detail Accommodate rehearsal dinners for 30 to full receptions for 100 Rooms available for all size parties Facilities available for corporate catering Personally designed menus Keep up with more of the world.
