Dining out for Life is tonight. If you can afford it, please help St. Louis Effort For Aids in their struggle to combat the devastation HIV/AIDS wreaks on our community. All of the pertinent information can be found on their website.

In addition, there is an "Art for Aids" reception, from 4pm to 7pm at UMSL's Gallery Visio. It is free and open to the public.
