Davis, Secretary Craig Whiting. C.P.A. Treasurer Our population of HIV exposed children continues to grow, yet services to this Diane Day Crump population are very limited. As of December 1994, over 100 children had Carol E. Martin. R.N. tested positive. Of those, 11 have AIDS, 5 have died, 22 have sero converted John T. Moran (tested positive initially, but now have tested negative) and the remainder are Ann Occhi. R.N. HIV positive or indeterminate. Sara Lopez-Ramos Many of these children have chronic infections and even though The Americans Michelle Stalk With Disabilities Act went into effect in January 1993, regular child care will not take "sick" children. Advisory Board Due to the lack of permanent facilities, we have had to move our babies 4 or 5 times. Clark County and City of Las Vegas has approved monies for a Steven Burris. Esq. permanent home for our organization the cares for children afflicted with this Scott Dorsey deadly disease. This new home will give us enough space to care for 40 or 50 Laura Fitzsimmons. Esq. children. We have plumbed this building for 100 children - yes, there are that Paula Francis many, and more who need the services we provide. Ted Giradono Hilarie Grey Below is a brief description on the projects we are working on: Engelbert Humperdinck Project #1 Mayor Jan Jones Charlie Lesink The Reach Our Learning Center which is due to be completed and occupied by Joan E.

Some time in the future, we will develop this 24 hour facility to better accommodate the children and families affected by this deadly disease which Ron Lawrence. M.F.T. C.A.D.C. creates a need for this 24 hour facility. Ronald S. Oseas Otto Ravenholt. M.D. Project #3 Project #3 is going to be our educational component. With the Boards permission, we purchased two lots, one was empty and the other is a Tri-plex that needs some work. We are renting this one also to adults with AIDS until REACH OUT Board of Directors we can generate the money to develop it. The monies from these rents go towards its upkeep. Cindy Small. President Pat Broadbent. Vice President We have another major obstacle, the growing epidemic of AIDS. This third Laurel S. Davis. Secretary project is needed so we can provide services for our growing population and we Craig Whiting. C.P.A. Treasurer need continued support in helping our children to "live with AIDS".

The magic moment oc- curred August 15 in Las Ve- gas, where the bighearted performer often invites AIDS-stricken youngsters to his concerts. Hydeia was born with the deadly HIV virus. An adopted child, she now has full-blown AIDS. But spunky Hydeia is a fighter She acts as an AIDS spokesperson and a fund- raiser to help other victims. She also convinced her mom Pat and dad Loren to adopt an abandoned infant with AIDS. Hydeia had met Billy Ray backstage the previous day, after a concert at Bally's Grand Hotel. The meeting was arranged through Reach Out, a day- care organization for chil- dren with AIDS. "While we were backstage, Billy Ray came over to Hy- deia and bent over to look her right in the eyes," said Pat. "Billy Ray gave her a pleasant smile and said: "Will you sing for me?' and Hydeia told him she would. "Hydeia sang a song that she wrote about AIDS.

You are cordially invited to participate in a Run and/or Walk-a-thon for Kids with Aids sponsored by REACH OUT (Relieving Every AIDS Child's Hurt Our Ultimate Task) Saturday, March 5, 1994 at 11:00 a.m. on the UNLV Campus, Las Vegas Come and meet these wonderfully alive children. They will win your heart and friendship for life. They are energetic, humorous, sometimes boistrous, lovable little kids. Your presence would mean a lot to them both personally and in helping to raise funds for their daily care and socialization. Reach Out is totally funded by private donations and special events, such as this run/walk-a-thon. Reach Out is unique in this nation, providing learning in a normal play, developmental environment for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers affected by AIDS. Sadly, most pre-schools will not enroll an AIDS infected child. Our goal is to enable children and families to learn to "Live with AIDS." Among their other friends, who have helped them in the past are Chip Hays, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Elizabeth Taylor. Come walk or run holding the hand of a child. Of all of the AIDS victims, these are the most innocent. 4B/Las Vegas Review-Journal/Sun/Sunday, March 6, 1994 a Celebrities join walk Ralph Fountain/Review-Journal The Reach Out Fun, Run & Walk, to benefit Calabro, a star of the prime-time soap opera, local children who are infected with HIV or and his wife, Elizabeth.

Beat ty of giving Miss America visits AIDS kids in Vegas By Bob Shemeligian IAS VEGAS SUN Miss America Leanza Cor- nett said she very much enjoyed her first trip to Las Vegas this week. But instead of hosting cocktail parties and social functions, Cornett, 21, spent part of Tuesday smiling, laughing and playing with AIDS-infected children at the Reach Out Learning Center. "What's your name? How are you doing?" the brown- eyed, dark-haired beauty queen asked a shy boy as other children played on her lap. "Kevin," the boy replied softly. At one point, 9-year-old Hydeia Broadbent, one of the facility's first three children, sang Cornett a special song written and performed by Engelbert Humperdinck to benefit Reach Out. "I've never been on stage with Engelbert Humperdinck," Miss America told the girl. "I'm jealous.' Cornett, from Jacksonville, Fla., has gained national attention for her crusade against the spread of AIDS and speeches on AIDS prevention to high school students.
