[Viva] A personal request to all Viva women

[heidi safford]

I agree with what Val said.
 I believe it is a great resource/connect for women, good networking, posting of events or getting feed back on topics from a group of caring, loving, supportive, multi talented intelligent bunch of women with varies of back grounds and lived experiences.
Any time Im making up resources list, I always add Viva.One could always get PAN to list it, put a blurb in their newsletters since it covers allof BC.
Have a wonderful time to all the women attending the 'special exciting luncheon event' that Viva is putting on and enjoy the Poz Gathering.
I'll be there is spirit.

i will say it is ..... looking at the response that was given when someone was changing medications and side effects .... it is a connection that i believe is very necessary we may not use it all the time but knowing that Viva is there is a life line and as i work with more woman in rural communities they are wanting to be connected

Subject: [Viva] A personal request to all Viva women Hi girlfriends,Allow me to pour my heart out...with the changing world of HIV, I am questioning if ViVA is still relevant and I'd like to know how you feel. ViVA will be turning 10 in April and I wonder if it has run it's course?
ViVA is understated. No one knows about us, we have no funding, no infrastructure (other than that provided by Positive Living BC), no visibility - basically no one thinks about it, most poz people and HIV organizations aren't even aware that it exists. And those that do know about it largely ignore it. - And maybe that's ok. 
My questions to you are:Does ViVA matter? Does ViVA enhance, or make your life better, in any way?
If you are receiving this email you are on the Viva Listserv and however you feel, your opinion, your voice is important! 
Everyone please share your thoughts, thank you,Margarite
