14TH ANNUAL
STRIKE OUT AIDS “Take me OUT to the ball game…” The words
have always been there, but, now the song truly applies to the LGBT community! The Wall Las Memorias Project, is a non-profit organiza- tion dedicated to promoting wellness and preventing illness among people affected by HIV/AIDS. They and the Los Angeles Dodgers want you to join them, on Friday, July 3, for their annual AIDS awareness event at Dodger Stadium. This is the 14th annual Strike Out AIDS event, which was created in 2000 and continues to be one of the largest HIV/AIDS awareness events in California with over 55,000 baseball fans and supporters in atten- dance. This year’s game pits the L.A. Dodgers and the New York Mets and includes a pre- game ceremony, home plate introductions, a HIV/Hep-C resource booth, formation of a hu- man AIDS Ribbon on the field (contact TWLMP staff at
david.flores@twlmp.org if interested in participating), Dodger Friday fireworks and first pitch by a special guest (TBA). The event takes place at Dodger Stadium, 1000 Elysian Park Avenue in Los Angeles. For tickets and more information, go to

2ND INTERGENERATIONAL
DISCUSSION PANEL Aging in the LGBT community can be a challenge, especially in a culture that tends to be youth-centric and often ignores those who have crossed that generational bridge to seniorhood. Communication between the two is often negligible and because of it, valuable experience and the knowledge it engenders can be missed. Senior Services at The LGBTQ Center Long Beach is attempting to change all of that on Saturday, July 11, with panel discussions that look to fill the gap and open a dialogue on how the word “OLD” impacts us as a community. Panelists will include a broad selec- tion of gender identities, ages and orientations as possible, in order to effectively discuss how ageism impacts both the young and old. Light snacks and drinks will be provided. For more information on how to participate, go

I spied a young cowboy-a riding along. His hat was throw’d back and his spurs were jingling. And as he was riding, he was singing my song.” Okay, just a minor adjustment with, “my…”
But, who doesn’t love a man (or woman) in spurs, boot, a sexy Stetson and a really great “seat?” In the saddle, that is… Here’s the “skinny” on the 10th Annual Saddle Up LA, taking place on Saturday, July 11: “Enjoy an afternoon riding and laughing with friends followed by a festive country BBQ, all to raise money to sup- port the Life Group LA and its mission to bring their nationally recognized POZ Life Weekend Seminar to the HIV/AIDS community.” No expe- rience is necessary, all levels of horsemanship are welcome for a leisurely ride through Griffith Park’s lovely hills. After that’s done, enjoy a Country Style BBQ with lively entertainment, line dancing lessons, exciting drawings, a silent auction filled with unique items and the presentation of awards.
