Ozarks Red Ribbon Ride
The Red Ribbon Ride, held at Galloway Station in

We would like to thank all our sponsors, cyclists, and volunteers and would like to extend a special thank you to United Healthcare, New Belgium Brewing Company, and Galloway Station Bar and Grill.
We would also like to Thank Team Mama Jeans for raising the most money, and congratulate them on winning the APO traveling trophy.
Keep cycling and keep up the good work!
AIDSWALK
AIDSWALK is held every fall to raise money for those living with HIV/AIDS in Southwest Missouri. 2008 will mark our 15th year of stepping forward for life.
The date for the AIDSWALK will be Saturday September 20th in Phelps Grove Park. you can bet this year will be an event to remember. Please stay tuned for more information as we plan our biggest walk yet!
Client Retreat
The Client Retreat is an event held every fall for our clients. The retreat is an invaluable time for clients to find support and friendships among their peers; and for staff and clients to spend time together in a more relaxed environment. This years retreat is already scheduled for September 5-7, 2008!
National HIV/AIDS Testing Day
June 27th is National HIV/AIDS Testing Day. Each year for National Testing Day APO plans several events and press conferences to raise awareness to the community about the need for education and testing. Last year we opened our doors to walk-in testing all day long.
As the event gets closer we will have more information on the activities we have planned and the hours of testing available.
World AIDS DAY
The concept of a World AIDS Day originated at the 1988 World Summit of Ministers of Health on Programmes for AIDS Prevention. Since then, it has been taken up by governments, international organizations and charities around the world.
For APO, every day is world AIDS day, however on December 1st each year, we join forces with the rest of the world to raise awareness, celebrate life, and remember those who have died from this pandemic.
