Volunteers from multiple agencies who provide HIV\/AIDS testing, treatment, and case management as well as family members of those memorialized gathered weekly at the American Red Cross building to create the quilt. In less than two months, the project was completed and displayed for World AIDS Day at Luzerne County Community College.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sordoni Art Gallery is pleased to share that Wilkes University Alumni Exhibition: Celebrating the Blue &amp; Gold opens on Tuesday, June 18.
