This year’s scheduled musical performers are Debra Davis (4-6pm), Acoustic Conversation (6-8pm), Scott Detwieler (8-9pm), Kelly’s Lot (9-10pm), and Los Angeles Blues Society (10-Midnight). As always, this event promises more than good music and great food and drink, making free Hepatitis C screening and testing available. The event remembers the third anniversary of the loss of Terri’s husband Patrick Eden to Hepatitis C. At age 54, he lost his life to the disease in March 2006. Terri would like to share how she and her late husband handled living with the disease and the changes in their lives that occurred as a result. “It’s been two years since the loss of my husband”, says Terri, “and talking with people since his passing has amazed me, in learning how many people know someone with Hepatitis C. Most people don’t seem to be concerned about the person because they don’t understand how serious this disease is and don’t realize that by the time they look sick it may be too late”. Patrick’s wife Terri joined the HepCAware street team after hearing about their telethon and grass roots awareness. Founder, Kelly Zirbes, helped Terri put her event together and the annual event was created. ”Helping others is a good way to deal with the loss”, Zirbes says. “It’s worked for many folks across the USA”. Teri wants to help get the message out to people in her area. She hopes that increased awareness will lead to more intense research on curing the disease. She would also like people to know that it is possible to live with Hepatitis C and to remember that “attitude is everything’. Patrick’s son, Sam, believes that his father is his guardian angel and that it is the strength of will and character of his father that guide him. There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C. It is a virus that attacks the liver and is spread by blood-to-blood contact. Although 1 in 50 Americans have the disease, 2 out of 3 do not know it. Persons who most at risk include those who have received blood, blood products or an organ transplant prior to 1992; those who have been involved with drug abuse (either injecting or snorting); those who have been patients of dialysis, those who have been tattooed or pierced, shared personal care items, been incarcerated or have been a war veteran (especially Vietnam). This is a free event that is open to the public. Musical performances by Debra Davis, Acoustic Conversation, Scott Detwieler, Kelly’s Lot and Los Angeles Blues Society Also there will be free Hepatitis testing.

The meeting will convene at 12:30 p.m. in Plumer Hall on the church campus. Dr. Chemerinsky describes his talk as follows. The California Supreme Court's decision providing for marriage equality is founded on well-established constitutional principles. Decisions have long recognized a fundamental right to marry and that groups, such as gays and lesbians, must not be subjected to arbitrary discrimination. Proposition 8 seeks to overturn this. What are the legal arguments for and against Proposition 8? What would be the legal effects if it is adopted? Earlier, on August 24, the congregation unanimously adopted a resolution opposing Proposition 8.
