Calling All Angels: Join us for Music, Food, Inspiration and Sharing

2010 is the 10th anniversary of African Aids Angels. African Aids Angels Victoria will be hosting a celebration at the James Bay New Horizons on Saturday September 11, 2010, from 11:00 a.m until 2 p.m.

Start making your plans to come and meet with African Aids Angels volunteers from Victoria, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and the Mainland. Nova Scotia and California volunteers would be especially welcome.

• Inspiration: We hope to share inspiring angel designs. Bring your most creative angels for the display area.
• Sharing: We will be collecting your volunteer profiles and photos to send to those we support in Malawi, Zambia and South Africa.
• Food: A light lunch will be served.
• Music: Lively music provided by Mufaro Marimba

RSVP to africanaidsangels@gmail.com by August 20 to help us with our planning. Maps and details to follow.

Angel Board Members

Our African AIDS Angels AGM will be held at 7 p.m., Wednesday May 26th.

We have two Board positions open. Terms are for one year.

We are looking for individuals who enjoy working with people, enjoy the puzzle of organizing and can commit to 4 meetings a year.

Potential tasks would be:

Volunteer Coordinator: to keep connected with volunteers, welcome new members, assist with information and access to materials.

Marketing Coordinator: to oversee marketing events such as craft fairs, mall events and open house. We have a large body of active volunteers always ready to respond to help at these events.

Or other projects that would match the skills of the board member.

Craft skills are not a pre-requisite, and we would welcome inquiries from individuals who are interested in AIDS Angels but have not yet participated in our activities.

If you are curious about becoming a Board Member, or if you know someone who would be interested in becoming involved as an Angel Board Member, please send an email to africanaidsangels@gmail.com or call Mary at 250-727-0226.
