AIDS Candlelight Memorial
       The Northern Nevada Outreach Team, along with Reno's Biggest Little Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, are in the planning stages for the 22nd annual Reno AIDS Candlelight Memorial and Remembrance.  The event is part of the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, which is a grassroots movement for those with AIDS and those who have been lost to the 30 year old pandemic.
        The International event is set for the third Sunday worldwide, but due to issues in finding a venue, Reno is looking at hosting the event in early June.  A venue still has not been obtained.
        More information will be forthcoming on the Reno AIDS Candlelight Memorial.
