CARC’s 18th Annual Meeting Presents…
A Ripple
of Hope
This presentation is
dedicated to the memory
of Donna Rado-Nazario and
all those that have lost their
lives in the fight against AIDS.
In the words of Robert F. Kennedy…
“Each time a person stands up for an ideal,
or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out
against injustice, that person sends forth a tiny
ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million
different centers of energy and daring, those ripples
build a current which can sweep down the
mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
