Nine honored for AIDS work. Nine Ohioans who are working on the front line of AIDS have been honored as 1994 AIDS Service Award winners by the Ohio Department of Health.

Nominated by colleagues or peers in their home communities, the winners were selected based on their commitment and for making a difference in the lives of people living with AIDS. The winners are: Robert Millonig, a 72-year-old full-time Akron volunteer at the AIDS Holistic Services Program; William Gray and Dennis Dozer, volunteer with the Columbus AIDS Task Force; Tom Curatti, a professional AIDS educator and volunteer with Columbus AIDS Task Force; Richard A. Levin, a microbiology professor at Oberlin College who teaches courses on sexually transmitted diseases; and Toledoans Tim Schiltz, Charlotte Starns, Rev. Charles McBee and Kenneth Chronowski, all with extensive credentials in AIDS education.

The winners, who were selected in one of two categories (volunteer and professional), will receive plaques from the Ohio Department of Health.

National

Women's Motorcycle Festival '94 is being hosted in posh surroundings, at the newly appointed Radisson Inn just south of Rochester, New York, thanks to organizers

Gin Shear and Sue Slate. It's a five day, four night schedule for all "Modern Day Cowgirls" and their chrome and metallic steeds. It takes place from Monday, July 18 until Friday, July 22.

There are six different group rides, events, workshops, entertainment, and a memorable Parade Run. Competition will focus around two main events, the "Dice Run Round-up" and the "All-Cowgirl Riding Rodeo." The emphasis is on fun but your riding skills do get tested.

Entertainment includes Moving Vibrations, Diane Amos, cabaret performer Lyn Lavner, Leah Zicari, and many more.

The festival is the official kickoff for the next phase of an ongoing fundraising campaign that so far has raised over $20,000 for breast cancer research. Women motorcyclists, don't miss out on this extravaganza. It was conceived, designed and orchestrated with you in mind. Pre-registration is due by July 5. Write to WMF, 7 Lent Ave., LeRoy, NY 14482, or call 716-768-6054.
