CareTeam Volunteer Picnic
Quail Valley Tennis Club
The setting – the picturesque grounds of the Quail Valley Tennis Club – was perfect. The guests of honor – CareTeam volunteers and their families and CarePartners – came out in abundance. The gracious hosts – TIHAN’s CareTeam Coordinators – brought forth an abundance of delicious food and fun.

Ages 2 through 72, it was a typically diverse TIHAN crowd, eating hamburgers, turkey burgers and veggie burgers – all gathered in celebration of our CareTeam volunteers during National Volunteer Appreciation Week.

Thanks to Jim Girard for setup, the Rev. David Wilkinson for the perfect grill, and to all our CareTeams for being so fabulous!

Southern Arizona Clergy Conference
The Arizona Inn
TIHAN’s first-ever Southern Arizona Clergy Conference was a great success. Thirty-six clergy and congregational representatives from 27 congregations and organizations were in attendance during the day-long conference at The Arizona Inn.

The goal of the conference was to provide clergy with greater awareness and information regarding spiritual care for the changing face of the AIDS pandemic. Guests of the conference had the opportunity to listen and share ideas throughout the day.

Featured presenters included Jane Fowler from Kansas City, who told her personal story as an HIV+ woman over 50; the Rev. Chris Ponnet, Los Angeles’ liaison for Catholic HIV/AIDS Ministry, who spoke eloquently and pastorally about the role of spirituality in HIV/AIDS; and Dr. Kevin Carmichael from El Rio Special Immunology Associates, who informed attending clergy about the latest HIV/AIDS medical issues.

Jane Mohler served as facilitator for the day’s events and Scott Blades inspired guests to become involved locally in ministering to those affected by HIV/AIDS.

The conference would not have been a success without the many hours of volunteer service provided by the conference planning committee: Rev. Frank Bergen, Rev. Louis Kavar and Sister Patricia Walsh. The conference was made possible by generous financial support provided by the Flinn Foundation, Glaxo-Welcome Pharmaceuticals and Roche Laboratories.

TIHAN Annual Meeting
and New Year Party/Fiesta Dinner
St. Cyril Catholic Church
More than 200 people welcomed the new year by taking part in TIHAN’s Annual Meeting, Reception and Fiesta Fundraising Dinner at St. Cyril Catholic Church.

The 1999 budget and slate of Board members was approved, and a slide presentation on TIHAN was premiered, followed by a Board-sponsored reception for TIHAN’s volunteers and supporters.

But the real fun began with dinner, as Robert Holguin and the St. Cyril youth group served up some of Tucson’s finest Mexican food, courtesy of El Molinito Restaurants in a spectacularly-decorated Parish Hall.

Then, the added bonus of the evening: a surprise folklorico performance to delight the crowd.

But it wasn’t all just fun: over $850 was raised to support TIHAN’s programs.
