Walk with SAVE to end AIDS
The
21st Annual AIDS Walk Miami is almost here! Join SAVE Dade and other
LGBT community groups as we walk together on Sunday, April 19th in
Miami Beach and unite with thousands in the fight to end HIV/AIDS.
The
Walk benefits Care Resources and Food for Life Network Food Bank,
providing services to over 9,000 South Floridians affected/infected
with HIV/AIDS. Funds collected by Care Resources allow the agency to
continue its initiative of providing HIV/AIDS education, prevention,
primary medical care, psychosocial services and community outreach in
Miami-Dade and Broward, among other services.

VOLUNTEER
Build your resume by volunteering
Are
you a college student and want to refine your career skills with real-world experience before graduation? Why not do so while fighting
for LGBT equality? SAVE Dade is now offering internship opportunities
to students who wish to take initiative in any of the various functions
of a not-for-profit organization.
While
SAVE Dade deals closely with politics and communications to propel its
message of LGBT equality forward, there is a great deal of other
behind-the-scenes roles that keep us running. Students have an open
door at SAVE Dade to become involved in their community, take ownership
in a piece of the organization, build knowledge on how not-for-profit
groups work and add experience onto their resumes.

Show Your Pride With SAVE
SAVE Dade is going to have a very active and exciting presence the 
weekend of the Miami Beach Gay Pride Festival. We will co-present the
Friday night event,"FruitCocktail", and participate in AIDS Walk Miami
on Sunday. In addition on Saturday, April 18th we will be marching in
the parade and exhibiting at the PROUD Festival & Expo of this
milestone event. During the entire weekend we will be recruiting
volunteers and distributing educational material on the fight for LGBT
equality as the city celebrates its first official pride
event in years.
"PROUD"
was fittingly chosen as this year's theme, as pride is sure to radiate
from all corners of the seaside streets of Miami Beach on April 18th
like never before. Backed by Miami Beach Mayor Matti Bower, the city
will officially kick-off honoring its LGBT community with the Inaugural
Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade. Festive floats, decked out cars and
groups of colorful, pride-happy LGBT people and allies will roll down
Ocean Drive between 5th and 15th Street beginning at noon.

OPERATIONS
SAVE Dade is consolidating its base
If you've been to the SAVE Dade headquarters then you know that we have a surplus of office space. Square footage we want to eliminate which in turn we cut as a cost from our budget. Whereas office space is an organizational need, it is our responsibility to do more with less in the current economy.
As a result we are moving our headquarters to a smaller and economically sound location. In order to facilitate the move we need the help of a professional moving company that can contribute their time and services. Moving can be expensive and in our case, counter intuitive to our operating goals. If you own or work for a moving company, or are relatives or friends with someone that is, please contact us, at (305) 751-7283, or savedade@savedade.org. With your help SAVE Dade can seamlessly change our location in a cost effective manner. |
