The fun begins at 6:30 PM and runs until 10:00 PM. During that time you’ll have the opportunity to meet a roomful of women who want to be your friend and possibly more.

Date & Time: Friday, August 8th, 6:30—10:00 PM. The sign-up table opens at 6:30 PM. Try to arrive by 7:00 so the registration process doesn’t hold up the event. The Express Match Dating starts at 7:30 PM. Nobody will be allowed to join the Express Match Dating process once it has started, do be early. Because of time and space constraints, we have space for no more than 50 women.
Where: Alternatives Health & Wellness Center/One Voice Community Center, 4314 N 7th Ave in Phoenix. Admission: $10.00 if you are participating in Express Match Dating. If you just want to come down, and hang out, and observe the festivities, you can get in for the usual $5.00. Reserve your space: You can reserve your space in advance by sending $10.00 to WCC, 2544 N Champlain AZ, Tempe, AZ, 85281. Please note that if you reserve your space, you still need to be on time. If you aren’t there by 7:15 PM, we’ll assume you aren’t coming and give away your seat to someone who didn’t reserve, but is there, hoping to get a spot, so that we can start on schedule. Just Announced!

The new location will provide testing for those who cannot make it to Southwest Center or other facilities, during the day says Marge Samson, the Women and Family Services Manager and Testing Supervisor. “This gives the public the opportunity to get tested during non-traditional hours, in a non-traditional and non-threatening environment.” Samson says the Uni-Gold Rapid Test will be utilized for HIV testing at the boutique, allowing results in ten minutes. “The fast results in a setting like this, is a perfect combination,” exclaimed Samson. Off Chute Too owner, Patrick Kelley, agrees. “In this day and age everyone should get tested, and if we can offer a place where someone might feel more comfortable coming in then we are more than happy to donate the space,” says Off Chute Too owner, Patrick Kelley. Off Chute Too is located at 4115 N. 7th Avenue, just above Indian School Road. Phone: 602-274-1429. The Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS can be reached by calling 602-307-5330. August 16-17, 2008
