[Viva] CAHR closing ceremony

I sure hope it shows up - It is an AWESOME piece of art.

Close call for you too Peg!  Yikes.  Sounds like those hotel employees are
overly efficient.

Margarite,

There is a fellow named JP who works at the hotel and saved the stem of the
cocktail glass from being thrown away.  I packed up the sculpture after the
closing ceremonies but the stem got left behind.  JP works for the Hotel and
he noticed that it was not trash a nd I was able to recover it on Monday.
Please ask the Hotel to contact him.

I am a bit concerned because of when the collage disappeared.  It was when
the conference was still ongoing. Have you sent messages to the Conference
organizers through Neora Pick, as well as the hotel Conference team?  I am
sure you have, but just in case ...  Love  -peg

We have a mystery!

Sometime between Saturday evening and Sunday morning the collage by the
Women's HIV University disappeared. I hope it was misplaced by the hotel. We
checked everywhere and left our contact info in case it surfaces. But it is
very strange since it is too big to just carry out and who would want it
anyways? 

 If anyone has any ideas where it might have gone ???

Also ... the photo exhibit was powerful too.

Thanks to the sensitive photographers for their view.

Sadly,

Margarite

I too was so happy to be with and be surrounded by so many wonderful
positive women. Thanks everyone for your strength and passion. 

I know that it takes a lot of energy for us to simply show up.  We did!  In
numbers and in force!!

Now take some time to pamper yourselves and recover.  I am speaking also to
myself as I arrived back in Victoria with a broken truck and a head cold.
The truck will get fixed (or not) and the head cold will go away in a couple
of days.  Hugs to all  -peg

I very much echo the appreciation to Alana for the closing ceremony -
incredible.

I also want to acknowledge the power of the art by positive women that was
displayed at CAHR. Peggy's "This isn't a Cocktail Party" , the
criminalization collage by Women's HIV University and Alana's suitcase
installation.  All were very powerful and brought the invaluable voices of
PHAs into the scientific research world!
Congrats on your work and gratitude to you all for the creative expression
of your truth through art.

Many great moments, presentations and networking over the last 4 days at the
CAHR conference but I especially want to thank Alana for closing the
conference. That was very courageous. Alana had scientists, health care
providers, community workers and PLHA's all holding hands in a big circle
united for the same cause.

Beautiful!!!

Again Thank you!

Margarite
