In the words of James Nelson from our friends at The Original Cupcakery - we couldn't agree more! It was an honor to be invited and to be involved in this celebration.

"Original Cupcakery was honored to be invited to "AIDS INTERFAITH NETWORKS 30th ANNIVERSARY EVENT". We continue to support the community as best we can when ever possible when it comes to HEROS!

 And the STAFF of AIN are nothing short of HERO's.... 30 years of selfless giving, and heart felt love of those impacted by HIV/AIDS has elevated the community in ways not often recognized. HIV/AIDS has met its match and the war is being won, slowly but surely with amazing groups like A...IN taking action to educate and eliminate the fear of living with infection while giving much needed resources to those in need. Over the years we have continued to support AIN because of their amazing work, we suggest you look into this organization and become a supporter as well, every helping hand is appreciated.

Many of you have experienced the ROARING 20's GREAT GATSBY .....but this year AIN is bringing us forward to another GOLDEN AGE by changing it up a bit and taking us "RETRO" ....."LIVE The Sands, A Retro Nightclub Experience".....The Rat Pack is BACK! November 5th!

SAVE the DATE....and start getting that "WARDROBE" ready because this will be the HOTTEST TICKET in DFW! ....GLAMEROUS is what's in and no one does it better than a party by AIN!"

We're looking forward to helping produce "LIVE at The Sands" at 3525 Commerce Event Center in Deep Ellum on November 5th - please join us from 9pm to midnight!

The staff at AIDS Interfaith Network celebrate the organization's 30th Anniversary with a day
of remembrance and optimism at the Interfaith Peace Chapel on the campus of Cathedral of Hope.

Impulse Dallas Presents Deck the Hauls

Thank you to Impulse Group Dallas for choosing Dallas Light and Sound as your production resource for the organization's first ever holiday party. Held in the Granite Bar at Station 4, the event saw the space transformed from essentially an empty room into a sexy and sophisticated holiday tableau. 

With signature DLS decor elements, lighting, audio, room layout, and a gorgeous photo area under the direction of Dallas Light and Sound, the event proved hugely successful. We deployed lighted trees and table centerpieces, created a food prep table holiday display, and provided other holiday decor elements from our inventory complimented the red and blue and green color scheme created by DLS for the event. Uplighting provided depth to the space and the photo area, which was anchored by a DLS red carpet and velvet rope installation to compliment the white drape background we installed for the event. With a Santa's chair flanked by DLS lighted trees and lighted box bases, one of the most memorable elements of the event décor sprang from the creative mind of our event designer Craig Canant - a simple red AIDS ribbon which overlayed on the white lighted trees.

Organizers collected more than 200 articles of clothing for Out of the Closet and performed more than 30 on-site HIV tests - with testing a core part of the Impulse Group Dallas misssion. Congratulations to the event organizers on such a successful soiree!
