    Do you like doing crafts or making videos? Do you want to support World AIDS Day and Head & Hands? Do you want to drink hot chocolate and have fun talking about safer sex with other rad crafters?

    Then come join us at our Crafternoon on Monday, November 29!

    Who: You and your buds!What: Making crafts (buttons, patches, etc) and a short video* to promote safer sex and getting tested for HIV– just in time for World AIDS Day!
    When: Monday, November 29 from 4-6pm

    Where: Head & Hands (5833 Sherbrooke Street West)
    Why: To have fun, to get involved at Head & Hands, and to spread the word about the importance of safer sex and the FREE RAPID HIV TESTING NIGHT** on December 1st.

    Bring friends, bring craft materials, bring creative energy for filming, and bring the fun! (though we will have all of the above on hand, too!)

    *A note about the video: we’ll be filming different volunteers doing condom demonstrations on various random objects (e.g. chair legs, vegetables, doorknobs, fenceposts, etc.). Condom tutorial will be provided, and everyone is welcome to film a segment if they’re comfortable!
    **A word on Rapid HIV Testing: Head & Hands is proud to host its first rapid HIV testing clinic on World AIDS Day, December 1st, 2010 between 5 and 8pm.  The service is free for youth aged 12 to 25, and allows people to get their results on the spot. Counseling, information and referrals will be offered on site.

    If you like talking about sex or if you have any thoughts or questions about it, come to Head & Hand’s new monthly drop-in sessions!  These are informal hang-outs for youth 12-18 to come to Head & Hands and meet other youth who want to talk about sex and sexuality, or who want to become peer sex educators in their own schools and communities. There will be workshops, discussions, activities and games, possibly movies, always free food and not mention condoms and lube!!!  This is also a great way to get involved in the Sense Project or take action in your school or community! 

    The first drop-in is on Wednesday, October 27th from 4-6pm at Head & Hands (5833 Sherbrooke West). If you want to come or want more info, visit http://www.senseproject.org/en/get-involved/
