 Hello VIVA women,

Thank you for your patience in us responding to your inquiries about the
purpose of the invitation to a PWN meeting. As the Board of Directors chair,
I am pleased to say that the agenda is in the spirit of working
collaboratively together for a cause everyone is passionate about, Women &
HIV, for VIVA to share their work with PWN and perhaps identify potential
partnerships that we may be able to form.

I, the staff and other board members recognize that there is without a doubt
a history between PWN and VIVA, however, we believe that the purpose going
forward, and to reconcile the past, is not to rehash what has been done or
said but rather to find the compassion to use our collective energies in a
direction for the greater good in our community. We continue to be open to
VIVA attending our staff meeting with the understanding that it is about
moving forward and not looking back. If your group is also interested in a
new beginning, and we hope that you are, please contact Marcie Summers to
arrange for your group to join us at a staff meeting.

Patti Telford
PWN Board Chair
