CIVIC CENTER TO HOST TALK ABOUT AIDS, TV PROGRAM

Cape Civic Center leaders are inviting area teens to watch "In a New Light: Sex Unplugged" at the center at 7 p.m. June 1.

The ABC television program, which deals with HIV and AIDS in teen-agers, will be broadcast on a big-screen television. It is part of a national AIDS awareness event called "A National Night to Talk About AIDS" and encourages people to get their questions about the disease answered.

"In a New Light" deals with pressures young people feel to become sexually active and focuses on teen-agers who have chosen abstinence, decided to postpone sex or are taking precautions to protect themselves. The show presents information on the consequences of certain behavior and explains how teens can better protect themselves against HIV and AIDS.

A roundtable discussion including Ted Fedler, a member of the AIDS Project of Southeast Missouri, will follow the two-hour program.

Program sponsors include the NAACP, Shivelbine's Music Store and AmeriCorps. Refreshments will be served.
