The Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) is organizing volunteers for the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) conference that will be hosted on the Mississippi Gulf Coast from October 20-25, 2013.  With over 300 attendees expected, numerous volunteers are needed for tasks such as helping with tours, working in the media room, and greeting guests at events.
 

In observance of National Black HIV AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD), the South Mississippi AIDS Task Force (SMATF) will offer free rapid HIV testing to the public from 9am-12pm and from 2pm-5pm Thursday, February 7 at its office located at 2756 Fernwood Road in Biloxi. Ten-dollar ($10) Wal-Mart gift cards will be issued to the first 65 “first time” testers.

National Black HIV AIDS Awareness Day is an initiative that was established thirteen years ago by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and their partnerships with various community-based organizations.
