I am not dead and you are not on any list LOL. Been buried at Covington and NKU stuff. Sorry ! How are plans going? Have you found a space?

"When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always 20 years behind the times." – Mark Twain
I don't know about you but I have to be honest – every time I hear this quote I am completely perturbed. Cincinnatians, and others for that matter, reference it all the time. Sometimes I hear people say we're only 10 years behind, but the way I see it, 10, 20 or even one year behind is unacceptable to me.

We in the Greater Cincinnati region need to be looking out the front windshield for our greatest accomplishments and quit viewing our greatness on the road behind us. The Big Red Machine, the Union Terminal, the canal system the breweries, Newport gambling and girlie bars, Marge Schott and Mapplethorpe. The good and the bad that people talk about is all old history! Where's the newness?
We need to be creating new headlines with a positive spin. Focus a positive light on what we are doing not re-casting a dim light on what we've done. We can start by forging leading civic programs that other cities emulate and rectifying depressed areas of our community that will serve as role models for other communities.
We cannot be afraid to fail. We have to look outside our own borders and give cause for people to visit the region. We must create uniqueness of today and for tomorrow because frankly, our history isn't one that warrants any specific attention.
I, for one, am trying to provide an annual, international, world-class fine arts event that will attract the educated, creative class from across the country and around the world to put our region on their calendars. The Cincinnati Reds and the Bengals are not going to do it. We need more people willing to fail big if we want to accomplish anything of significance.
You can sit on your sofa with your bag of chips or you can get out and risk it all to make something (ANYTHING) happen.
Ms. Friedman has it right. Snap out of it! Like the sports icon says, "Just do it!"
Michael Wallace Connett"We need leaders everywhere to demonstrate that speaking up about HIV (which may result in) AIDS is a point of pride, not a source of shame.

To accomplish these goals, we must undertake a more coordinated national response to the epidemic. The Federal government can't do this alone, nor should it. Success will require the commitment of governments at all levels, businesses, faith communities, philanthropy, the scientific and medical communities, educational institutions, people living with HIV, and others..." -Executive Summary, National HIV/AIDS Strategy for The United States  |
Regarding the Event and Ceremony at The PEACE Bell; Any help & advice you can give would be appreciated!
Haven't starting putting the Program together yet –was waiting for Election returns! Now for the invites: President Obama, Secretary of State & Former President Clinton, Governor Beshear, Rep. Arnold Simpson, 3 County Judge Execs, River Cities Mayors/City Managers, Dr. Savani & Group, Southbank Business & CommUNITY Leaders, Clergy.....
Following up on recent contacts & phone messages. Earlier today, I learned that another Greater Cincinnati AIDS Service Organization had announced their World AIDS Day plans for the World Premiere showing of the Documentary "We Were Here!" at The Carnegie in Covington! THIS is a Great Event! It is also an excellent example of the Failure of the Greater Cincinnati AIDS Service Organizations to Synergize... We're ALL in this Together; People merely Affected by HIV is everyone, isn't it!?
Best Regards,
Michael

Subject: AIDS Day
I would like to do a story in GLBT News about the AIDS Day event at the Peace Bell. I have checked your Facebook and cannot find a time anywhere.
What I need
Time: Depends on Who & What; Ceremony is scheduled to start @ 6:00 pm (To catch end of Local into National Media Window)
Names of any speakers: The list is long; but I'm preoccupied with nailing down a Display Location for The QUILT! Put the Buzzz out Friday afternoon; but have several suggestions and ideas in the works...
Parking: Local lots, etc; will follow up...
Info on Quilt:
Are you the sponsor and do you have help?
Be specific, I don't have much space and I don't have time to dig through much material.
The Presenting Sponsors are MWCLTonline.org-SouthBankHIVe.com-ideaZone Marketing, LLC

At The NAMES Project Foundation we are always working to ensure public accessibilty to both The AIDS Memorial Quilt and to the individual stories of the men, women and children we have lost to this epidemic.
I've been thinking about this since I first saw last year's "Cleveland Clip" and been researching how we can equal or better a Metropolitan Response in this the 30th Year; and it is the Ultimate in a "Teachable Movement". So yes; we can always use more GrassRoots Help! If the Local AIDS & LGBT Bureaucracies want to share their 2 cents worth for the Cause, we welcome them as well.
EVERYDAY IS WORLD HIV DAY
Living With HIV IS Not Dying of AIDS; Unfortunately, we have "AIDS fatigue" among younger people & those who have no memory of the worst phase of the HIV epidemic in the 1980s and early 1990s, as well as condom fatigue among those who have grown tired and disillusioned with the... unrelenting and sometimes unrealistic safer sex message.
Over the years, World AIDS Day has become a global phenomenon that has prompted massive media coverage, raised awareness, encouraged people to get involved and amplified the voices of those living with HIV. But how we can get people to care about HIV/AIDS after Dec. 1?
Many people living with HIV in America today face a unique set of structural and lifestyle challenges, including, but not limited to: poverty, hunger, under- or unemployment, illiteracy, racism, discrimination, immigration issues, homelessness, stigma, previous or current incarceration, sexual or domestic violence, homophobia, substance use, criminalization, addiction, and childcare and mental health issues.

Dear MoveOn member,
Did you know that there's an election in Covington next Tuesday, November 8? If you didn't, you're not alone. Off-year local elections are often decided by just a few hundred or even dozen votes. And when you combine this with the tea party's focus on state and local elections, every vote really does count.
That's why we're working on new ways to get MoveOn members to the polls—and one of them is sending a text message reminder to vote on Election Day. It's part of a new project we've just launched, MoveOn Mobile, to send urgent updates, events, breaking news, and election reminders via text message.
This is a low-volume, high-impact network. You'll only get two or three texts a month, when important news demands quick action.
Thanks for all you do.

THANK YOU FROM THE RIVER CITY NEWS
Since it is now November, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you readers for making October such a huge month for this news outlet. Since launching in June, our numbers have doubled each month. Except in October. They quadrupled! 4 times as many people got their Covington news from us in October compared to August/September which had double the numbers from July which had double the numbers from June. Thank you for your trust, your feedback, and your continued readership in this new experiment of local journalism. –Michael
