AIDS quilt on display

To mark AIDS Awareness Week, four quilt squares of the AIDS quilt will be on display in the Holmes Student Center’s Heritage and Regency rooms from Dec. 3 to 6.

The entire quilt, larger than a football field, was displayed recently at the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. Each quilt square represents an individual who has died from AIDS.

Authorized American Red Cross water safety and lifeguard instructors will lose their certifications Dec. 31 if they have not completed training in ARC methods.
