New Jersey: Students Contribute to AIDS QuiltMay 27, 2008 Around 30 students at the Asbury Park Intermediate School have completed four panels for the National AIDS Memorial Quilt as part of their after-school program’s community services project. The panels tell the story of four local people who died of AIDS. At a dedication ceremony on May 13, Maria Betters, chair of the Central New Jersey Chapter of the Names Project Foundation, commended the fifth-, sixth- and seventh-graders who participated in the project. "You should all be very proud of yourselves," she told them. The AIDS Memorial Quilt, founded in 1987, has more than 44,000 panels memorializing the life of a person who has died of HIV/AIDS.
