Hi EveryONE,
I knew that this would be a busy month in Texas for ONE with Vertigo whizzing through our state this month!
This coming Sunday, 16 October 2005, the ONE Campaign of Texas will be present and ACTIVE at the Austin AIDS Walk from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. and y'all are encouraged and invited to come out and join us in showing your support for ONE and the struggle to end extreme poverty.
Here is the info which has appeared on the ONE site about the Austin AIDS Walk:
Austin, TX – October 16, 12pm-4pm – AIDS Walk Austin – Intersection of 11th Street and Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78701 – Come out to this huge and very important Austin event to show support and solidarity with those affected by AIDS near and far. The ONE Campaign will have a table for collecting signatures, sharing resources, and volunteers being ONE with all who are there.

Last year I staffed the ONE booth with two university student volunteers. This year, we should have a much bigger group as we have recently formed an AustinONE yahoogroup and have many more interested people to help that day.
But I still want to encourage everyone here who can come and join us that day to feel free to do so. You'll get the chance to meet our regional co-ordinator for Texas (Seth) and talk with him if you'd like.
We all know how much U2 encourages us to find POSITIVE ways to express our concern for those in our world who are less fortunate than we are. Showing up this Sunday and supporting ONE at the Austin AIDS Walk is an excellent way to put this idea into practice.
Thanks for listening. And hope to see as many of you as possible this Sunday.
Take good care of yourselves. Blessings not just for those who kneel.
ONE, debbie
