The City of West Hollywood held several events to recognize World Aids Day, which is observed every December 1.
On December 1, every year since 1988, World AIDS Day is recognized by people worldwide, and it holds significance for West Hollywood.
Lauren Meister, the Mayor of West Hollywood agreed. Meister and Horvath were two of many city leaders who attended the Paul Andrew Starke Awards Presentation at the West Hollywood Park Aquatics and Recreation Center. The event honors organizations and people who offer HIV/AIDS care services. "To celebrate World Aids Day, we're gathering in what we call a story circle to have people tell their personal stories about how HIV AIDS affected their lives," said Irwin Rappaport, the Chair for the Board of Directors for the Foundation for the AIDS Monument. "The monument will be a 7,000-square-foot work of public art. We are hoping it will open to the public towards the end of next year," said Rappaport.
