AIDS Memorial Quilt Viewing, 2-7:30 p.m.
American folk art and quilting have significant history in the AIDS pandemic, beginning in the 1980s with the iconic presentation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and continuing today as panels are painstakingly created by hand to memorialize those who have died of AIDS-related complications. These serve to increase awareness of the disease and bring solace to survivors, and are deeply moving for visitors to experience. A display of quilts sponsored by Quilt Project Gold Coast in collaboration with the NAMES Project Foundation will be on view in the Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center Lobby beginning at 2 p.m.

World AIDS Day ’22 Panel Presentation and Candlelight Vigil, 5:15-7:30 p.m.
Organized in collaboration with the HIV/AIDS Coalition of Ventura County, including Ventura County Public Health and Planned Parenthood of California Central Coast, this presentation is part of the county’s annual observance of World AIDS Day. We invite everyone to consider HIV/AIDS not only as a global-health issue but also as a social-justice issue that impacts local communities. Adina Nack, PhD, medical sociologist and professor at Cal Lutheran, will start by sharing global, national and local updates on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Then, Neil and Keith Coffman-Grey from Quilt Project Gold Coast will describe the history and continued significance of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. In addition, we’ll hear about personal experiences of living with HIV/AIDS. The event will conclude with Colleen Windham-Hughes, MDiv, PhD, and students leading a nondenominational Candlelight Vigil.

Events are sponsored by Cal Lutheran’s Public Health Program and Sarah W. Heath Center for Equality and Justice.

From the Beach Boys and Marvin Gaye to Carole King and Neil Diamond, along with some of our local composers, we’ll sing to the sun, waves, citrus, and surf!

Calling all Ventura County singers! Come check out Gold Coast Chorus, a non-audition community choir right in your backyard.

If you have been wanting to try choir or are looking for a community to join, we hope you’ll sing with Gold Coast Concert Chorus! GCCC began in 1988 and has been a vibrant part of the Ventura County choral music community for over 30 years. We were founded on the belief that all singers should have access to choral music.

Our “Come and See” rehearsal is an opportunity to try out singing with the chorus at no cost and with no commitment. This is the first rehearsal for our upcoming holiday concert, Sing Joyfully, a collection of wonderful, new arrangements of Christmas carols and holidays songs from some of our favorite arrangers, including two of our own - Ted Mathews and Jessica Helms!

Performances will be Friday and Saturday, December 9-10, 2022. Rehearsals begin on September 12th at Church of the Foothills in Ventura, CA and continue every Monday evening from 7:00pm-9:00pm until the concert. If you choose to continue rehearsing with the Chorus, the membership and music fee is $105 for this concert. Scholarships are available if needed. For more information, please visit www.goldcoastchorus.org

GCCC’s latest production will feature the usual beautiful carol arrangements and fun holiday cheer. Many songs are brand new, and some are favorites from years gone by. Since this is an anniversary year, we wanted to call special attention to the folks within our Ventura County community who have graced us with beautiful compositions and arrangements. You might be surprised at who they are and how close they live!
