embers of the Friends of People with AIDS
Foundation and Imperial Sovereign Rose
Court came together for a wrapping party Dec. 16.
About 50 volunteers attended to decoiate
presents for 120 people. The gifts were for chil
dren infected or affected by HIV as well as 15
adults in long-term care facilities such as Our
House and Swan House.
The presents were donated by both of the
organizations as well as the Oregon Bears, Camp
Starlight, Women’s Intercommunity AIDS
Resource and many individuals. Embers Avenue
donated space for the party and provided coffee
to keep energy running high.
Emperor XXVIII Shelley and Empress XLIV
Poison Waters helped round up the volunteers.
Besides all of their assistance as wrappers, deliv
erers and buyers of presents, members of the
court also have organized a drive to get a good
holiday dinner to each of the families on the list.
The foundation has delivered presents to
children affected by HIV since 1990 but needed
help this year because of an overwhelming need.
The organizations plan to continue their collab
oration in 2002.
“We’ve been able to handle the numbers
previously by using our own volunteers and
resources,” Bill E. Space says. “This year, how
ever, the numbers jumped considerably, and
without the help of the ISRC we wouldn’t have
been able to get presents to all these kids.” JH
