Youth are coming out at an earlier age and the stresses of society can simply be overwhelming. They’re also dealing with the reality of <span class="caps">AIDS </span>as the percentage of youth contracting <span class="caps">HIV </span>is on a steady rise. With these compounding pressures,<br />
it’s no wonder that suicide is the leading cause of death among gay youth.<br />
Gay Associated Youth is tackling this problem head on. You can help by becoming a Friend of Gay Associated Youth*<br />
 <br />
*Join us for an evening of “Friends,” cocktails and hors d’oeuvres<br />
Friday, February 15, 2008<br />
5:30 to 7:30 <span class="caps">P.M.</span><br />
at the beautiful home of Ed Ellis and Manny Rodriguez<br />
38058 Maracaibo Cr East<br />
Palm Springs, Ca 92264<br />
(Parc Andreas)*</p>

<p>Come mingle with friends and learn more about how you can help gay youth, ages 14 to<br />
24, with the daily struggles of coming out, being proud of who they are, and developing a<br />
positive self-image and skills for life..</p>

<p>Bring your check book or credit card, and even a couple of friends, to help us reach our<br />
goal for the evening of $50,000.</p>
