HCHS Auction Update
Yes, we've got the theme, date, time and place (Casino Royale, Saturday, May 15th on the west side of Manhattan), now it's time to get to the REALLY important things for the auction. We know what you're thinking: raising money for our kids' education is the important thing. Of course we agree, yet there is another important part of the auction we'd like to focus on this week--ALCOHOL. We've been given a suggestion for the signature cocktail, taken straight from James Bond in CASINO ROYALE. It's called The Vesper and to make it happen, we'd love to hear from anyone who can donate liquor or get it at cost. And here's a thought, if you're not sure what to donate on a personal level, why not a case of wine? If you can help, please contact Judy Weinstein (directjudy@aol.com), Jocelyn Markowitz (rmarkowitz@nyc.rr.com), or Lisa Taber (lisatracytaber@rcn.com) Cheers!

We are looking for volunteers to walk in the 2010 AIDS Walk on May 17 to raise money for AIDS research, or people who are willing to volunteer to cheer people on along the sidelines or hand out food at rest stations. Service credit will be awarded for the number of volunteer hours.
The AIDS walk is approximately 6.2 miles long and takes an average of 2 - 3 hours. The walk goes through the park and around the city. There are food, drink, and rest stops along the way and people cheering you on the entire time. Walkers ask friends and family to sponsor them and donate either a certain amount of money per mile walked or a lump sum. When walkers are registered, they are assigned a webpage, which will be the link to give people who want to donate. Writing a letter or making phone calls to everyone you can is recommended to try to get donations. Donations can also be brought in check or cash form to the walk, or mailed in to the organization after the walk date.
