Mesa State PRIDE Club to Recognize World AIDS Day

Grand Junction, CO - Mesa State College's People Recognizing the Importance of Diversity and Equality Club will hold a candle light vigil in recognition of World Aids Day on Dec. 1 at 6 p.m. on the south side of Houston Hall on the main campus.

PRIDE is also marking World Aids Day with a flag display on the southwest corner of North and 12th Streets in Grand Junction. Each of the 700 flags represent 100,000 people who are either currently infected or have already died from AIDS.

To ensure that the people of western Colorado are aware of the AIDS crisis, PRIDE has also coordinated with the Western Colorado AIDS Project to offer free testing on Dec. 1.
