This week has been moving and shaking off the chain! It's one of those weeks that matters come flying through at a break neck pace and then some. Just trying to get all of it even half ready for this forum keeps me in the "Big Chair," busting it out ASAP. I know some of you think that putting this down takes only a minute or two and you are oh so "wrong-o!!" COP 24/7 is not all about a "cut and paste" endeavor and if you check out archives of over 100,000 words and counting, it speaks for it self. So while we through down our small "joker" this outing, we're holding our "big" joker for later. Until then, feast on our latest...
Scavenger Hunting
Hold On, Wait a minute! Even as we launched our Scavenger Hunt for those HIV/AIDS Billboards, it seems that even though they were to in place through December 18th, it seems that at least one and perhaps more have disappeared already. COP 24/7 thought that we should go out and about to make sure that our readers would be able to discover these billboards. Therefore as we surveyed the city we found that it seemed that there had been some moving of the coconuts. With that known, it was imperative that we at least make that known to any participants who decided that they would take on the challenge. At this point, no one has come forth and all of this may be about nothing. However on the flip side, COP 24/7 got to thinking, why didn't producers of this campaign create some type of tie-in connection that would have at least alerted the public to this campaign and the messages that were to be delivered. Where was their press conference? Were there any articles in the local newspaper? How about that glossy "501" magazine with all those hip and happening things taking place in Pulaski County? Or Perhaps the worldly AY publication that covers many demographics that could have gotten a "poke" to remind them that HIV and AIDS is still with us. Wow how did COP 24/7 think of such tactics that could have complimented the campaign while giving much greater awareness to the effort. Ultimately, how does one assess a measurable outcome of this expenditure and how will those findings be presented to the public? So many questions. So many undeveloped tie-in's or approaches that could have take this effort to greater heights throughout this city's diverse communities. Oh well, as we've come to hear on numerous occasions, "as we learn better, we do better." COP 24/7 keeps wondering in lieu of the fact that we are dealing with people's lives how much more learning will it take before we actually do better. Happy Hunting....
INFO PLEASE: What's the 411!!
This forum goes to the mat while trying to circulate important information and updates for those seeking medical services related to HIV and AIDS or otherwise. COP 24/7 is proud to announce our involvement in the development of two such information pieces that will offer a snapshot of providers and service organizations to consumers. At the behest of the emerging The Living Affected Corporation's publishing division, Holistic Health Arkansas, a resource guide has been completed featuring a "one stop" concept of organizations, meetings, AIDS services groups and hot line contact numbers. The cover highlights, Ms. Ann D. as Top Advocate for 2011 who's entire story will be apart of the upcoming "Our Lives, Our Stories" project slated for January 2012 release. Dixon has been a tireless advocate and activist in the arena of HIV/AIDS issues. She has served on numerous committees, particpated in conferences and represented Arkansas across the nation. The booklet will go into statewide distribution by December 15 and will be available to ASO's, CBO's and general public.
