The World's AIDS Day Event in Highlands County

 

As our main agenda for 2012-13 is to support the function of a redevelopment plan for the Southside Redeployment Area. We should also consider in advance the establishment of an World AIDS Day event here in Highlands County on Sunday 1 December 2013.

 

Understand the "World's AIDS Day," is only one cause of many causes and that we are actually attempting to create a network and coalition in Highlands County to use as a springboard to initiate activities to address contemporary issues in today's economy.  The reason I chose AIDS as a template to these activity arrangements is because it has International Appeal, it is a social issue of the Hip Hop Community but is taboo unlike cancer.  This must change!

 

We call for the City of Avon Park to sponsor the event by extending accommodations consistent with non profit corporations with 501 c 3 statuses and or Florida State solicitation licenses.  We would like the similar accommodations extended to the MLK Parade Event.  Because the AIDS rate is disproportionately high here in Highlands County, this will be a good venue.

 

I hereby call on the CRA and City Council to consider putting this on the floor at the council meetings to be considered to be placed on the Agenda an exploratory committee for funding such an event on 1 Dec. 2013.  The exploratory committee will consist of about 7 persons, from different organizations in Highlands County to meet once a week and submit the decisions to the CRA and City Council for consideration, which will be then sent to the media to update the public.  Such decisions could include guest speakers, performing artists and so forth and the accommodations needed to provide a venue for activities.

 

Location of Event:

 

Citywide:  We would like to have more than one event location on one permit, whereby at a minimum we would like to be located on Main Street in Avon Park, FL to the Delaney Avenue stripe in the Southside Redevelopment Area of Avon Park, FL., ending on Hal McRae Boulevard.

 

The Purpose of Annual Controversial Event:

 

To support the local economy with a venue to vend to a large audience. To advocate for the released of the  cure to the AIDS virus, because we at the NCNCHINC believe there is a cure to AIDS and it may be a conspiracy for population control by the pharmaceutical industry and perhaps even covert government operations.  In the absence to the release of the cure to the AIDS virus, we want to spread the word that there is still hope for those with the virus who may seem to be perishing.

 

Type of Activities at Event:

 

Public Speakers both guest and locals, music and dance, a stage concert and dramatizations, DJ's, cooked food stands, merchandise stands, , fruits and vegetable stands, free educational brochures, free and sold STD prevention devices and free testing information kept confidential.

 

Estimated Costs to City:

 

Actually, the event should turn a profit to the city by creating jobs and revenue to be spent in the local economy.  This will be billed as a major event annually starting Dec. 2013 attracting sponsorships from the local economies and from celebrities and philanthropist abroad. It would attract a lot of people and will require police protection as well as private security. This will require some overtime by the local law enforcement, electricity for the events and perhaps other services to be determined by the City Council, who would be in partnership with the non profit organization in the Highlands County area.

 

This Must be a Collaborative Effort:

 

The NCNCHINC is merely the vision of this overtaking, because it will require a joint effort and a joint task force to carryout these agendas. As there will be at least 5 departments under the one umbrella.  So we call on the Churches throughout Highlands County to support us in mind, body and spirit.  We call on the media for press releases to create awareness about events.  We call on the non profits to participate and volunteer in anyway they can, from the NAACP to the Churches, we must come together.
