CHEF’S SECRETS 4 IN REVIEW
THE BEST KEPT SECRET
- By Shaun Willis, LMSW
On Sunday, November 16, 2008 the Long Island Network of Community Services (LINCS) hosted its fourth
annual fundraising event, Chef’s Secrets, to benefit Long Island Association for AIDS Care Inc. (LIAAC) and
BiasHELP of Long Island. The event, designed to be a luxurious tasting of food and wine, exuded elegance from
the valet parking to the lavish appointments of the de Seversky Center, the gold coast mansion in Old Westbury
that was home to this year’s event. Guests entered into the marbled entrance hall, which housed a beautiful
LINCS ice sculpture. Guests moved from the entrance hall into the reception area where an island oasis of
frozen drinks, sophisticated martinis, and a spectacular array of wine encouraged merriment and celebration.

LIAAC Says Goodbye to a Good Friend
This past November LIAAC lost a long-time
consultant who was the Laboratory Director for our
HIV testing and counseling program. In 2001, when
LIAAC received its first federally-funded
SAMHSA grant to do HIV testing on Long
Island, we were unable to accept the
funding without having a Laboratory
Director to oversee the administration
of the testing program. The
Laboratory Director had to be either
a physician or nurse practitioner.
LIAAC conducted a major outreach
and no one would step forward to
take on the responsibility, which
required approximately 8 hours a
month of their time. I knew Gail
Jacobs and went to her to ask her for
help in finding someone, as she was
Gail
working as a psychiatric nurse at Sagamore
Children’s Psychiatric Center. Gail asked me
about our program and about LIAAC in general and
the type of work that we did. She said that since HIV
was such a national problem, she thought it was time
that people gave something back. She volunteered to
be the Laboratory Director of the program without
even knowing that the position came with a consulting
stipend. As our testing programs grew from 200 tests
per year to 2,000 tests a year and included grants
from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA),
New
York
State
Department of Health and the US
Office of Minority Health
Services, Gail continued to
expand her responsibilities in overseeing the
administration of the
tests.
As
the
program became
larger LIAAC
2
was fortunate to enlist the help of other medical
professionals, but without Gail Jacobs stepping up
first there would have been no testing program
outside of the hospitals and a few clinics here
on Long Island. Our Project Safety Net
program has mobile outreach vans that
cover every community on Long
Island, its own hotline for individuals
who want to be tested, and through
our testing program we have been
able to refer people to other vitally
needed medical and social
programs, such as food, housing,
medical treatment and substance
abuse treatment interventions. As
Gail got to know and love LIAAC, she
also began to use her counseling skills
working with both the Board of Directors
Jacobs
and upper management to help guide us
through the stresses related to the intensity
associated with the type of work we do and to help us
look towards the future services that the agency can
provide to Long Island residents.
In 2006, Gail informed us that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and would need surgery
and aggressive chemotherapy. As a result of her diagnosis, she had to take medical leave and eventually
retire from her position at Sagamore Children’s
Psychiatric Center. We thought that she would
certainly want to take a leave from her responsibilities
at LIAAC. She said that more than ever she wanted to
do the things she loved best for the time that she was
sick or if she recovered. To her that included LIAAC
and all of the staff here that she had come to respect
and see as colleagues and friends. Most of her
connections were with myself, Catherine Hart,
Executive Vice President of Organizational
Development, Romarie McCue, Associate Director of
Mobile Outreach, and my assistant, Carol Cutrone.
Her illness gave us a chance to see somebody with a
LONG ISLAND
ASSOCIATION FOR AIDS CARE, INC.
(LIAAC)
physical problem who continued to follow through on
her everyday commitments. Even though all of us at
LIAAC work with death and dying, we don’t have the
opportunity to see people that have life-threatening
diseases in their own natural or family environment
since the majority of our services are performed in the
community and we are not an inpatient, psychiatric, or
substance abuse facility. All of us that knew Gail
Jacobs were astounded by her strength, courage, and
resilience to maintain an upbeat attitude in the face of
what was clearly becoming a terminal situation. As
Gail got sicker and was unable to come to the agency
in the last six months of her life, at her request we
brought the documentation that she needed to review
for the testing program directly to her. She never
missed a deadline and insisted on still being a part of
the strategic planning for the future of LIAAC’s policies
and direction for services we will be providing over the
next several years. In the last few weeks of her life,
although in constant pain, she still kept in touch by
phone and always wanted to know what was
happening at the agency even when I went to visit her
as a social call. The last time I saw Gail was five days
before she died, sitting in her chair, drinking her
essential 7-Eleven 20oz cup of coffee and offering to
get me something to eat or drink. Although in pain and
reconciled to the end being near, she was sharp,
focused, considerate and caring about her family,
friends and all of the people she would leave behind.
As someone that has worked for the past quarter
century with death and dying, I have always believed
that the way you live your life is the way you die. It
does not mean that if you are a bad person you suffer
and if you are a good person you go quickly. It means
that the type of person you are in life and your
strongest qualities will be sharpened and will move to
the forefront in the process of dying. Gail died quietly,
at home, in her sleep, with class and dignity, exactly
the way she lived her life.

The festivities were meant to commemorate the selfless and compassionate work done by this year’s
honorees. Deborah Barrett-Anderson was honored by
BiasHELP of Long Island for her extensive work
serving our region’s at-risk youth through programs
that seek to reduce violence, substance abuse and
other potential barriers to success. Mrs. BarrettAnderson appeared genuinely moved by the recognition, and provided inspiring comments to all those in
attendance. This year, LIAAC honored Dr. Jeffrey L.
Vacirca who, by serving as a consulting physician,
enables our staff to bring state of the art HIV testing to
Long Island’s disenfranchised populations and
communities. Dr. Vacirca was excited to be honored at
such an extravagant event, deeming LIAAC’s testing
program a necessity on the island. LINCS and its affiliates would once again like to express our extreme
gratitude for the wisdom and abilities provided by this
year’s two honorees.
The event, involving approximately twenty chefs from
Nassau and Suffolk counties, provided nearly 300
patrons with a unique experience at every chef’s
station. Chefs impressed attendees with flaring culinary technique, recipes, samples, menus, coupons,
and special promotions. While patrons were dazzled
by delectable desserts, all were equally amazed by the
stunning array of auction items to be bid on and won.
The silent auction offered items such as a Disney
Family Vacation worth $4,000! The live auction gave
people the opportunity to bid on either multiple tickets
to live art and cultural events or a sports lover’s
package. Many enjoyed the raffle with over twenty
items in our Chinese auction and all left with a luxurious gift bag that included New York Yankees apparel
and a stunning pearl necklace from Overstock.com!

CLIENT HOLIDAY PARTY 2008
CLIENT HOLIDAY PARTY 2008
- By Jamie Lee Lindsay
The garland on the Christmas tree shimmered.
The lights of the symbolic Hanukkah menorah
sparkled. The Mazao was displayed beautifully
on the Mkeka to celebrate Kwanzaa. Most importantly, on the evening of December 12th, children’s and adults’ faces lit up with delight
when they entered the Long Island
Network of Community Services (LINCS)
Community Center for LIAAC’s Annual
Client Holiday Party.
While the holidays
can be stressful for
almost
everyone,
those with a chronic
illness,
financial
instability, and little
to no healthcare
truly struggle during
this time of year.
That is why it was
LIAAC’s goal to create a wonderful and memorable party for our guests to eat, dance, open
gifts, and be merry.
All clients currently being served by the agency were
invited to attend with their families and the turnout
was incredible. Over 180 kids, parents, aunts,
uncles, cousins, grandparents, and even greatgrandparents gathered to celebrate the holiday
season. All who attended were able to converse
and celebrate in a non-judgmental environment.
Clients and staff members alike danced to
holiday and popular music, thanks to DJ Eddie
Orihuela. A vast array of delicious cultural foods
was served to guests, including pasta dishes,
salad, turkey, rice and beans, and potato
pancakes. Delectable desserts included cookies,
cake, doughnuts, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
At long last, a jingling of bells rang through the air
and everyone knew who was on his way
in…Santa! Children’s eyes glistened with excitement as he made his way to his special chair in
front of piles upon piles of presents and began
handing out gifts to all the children. Family
members were able to take pictures of their children on Santa’s lap. In addition to the main gift
given to them by Santa Claus, boys and girls
were able to choose a smaller grab bag item as
yet another special treat.
The children weren’t the only ones getting treats.
Adults were given raffle tickets earlier in the
evening and were able to
participate in a Chinese
Auction with over 25
amazing gifts. Some of the
donated items included a
digital picture frame, board
games, DVDs, nail and hair
salon gift certificates, and
beautiful baskets filled with
bodywashes and bubble
bath. There were even two door prizes raffled
off; a Starbucks gift set and a basket filled with
cookies and snacks.
The party was an enormous success thanks to
the tireless efforts of LIAAC’s Holiday Party
Committee and the organizations, stores, philanthropists, and restaurants that provided donations.
Clients,
family
members, and staff all left
with a sense of happiness,
peace and appreciation.
We would like to sincerely
thank those who made the
party a success: DJ Eddie
Orihuela, Toys For Tots,
Garden City High School,
Mr. and Mrs. Danny Maniscalo, Allied Supply, St.

HOLIDAY FOOD DISTRIBUTION
- By Marisa Curto
During
the
holiday
season, the LIAAC
Food Programs staff works to
ensure that food is available for every
client so that they can enjoy a holiday meal
with their families. The season began with the pantry staff
reaching out to community organizations asking for assistance with food drives. Despite
the financial hardship felt across the island, LIAAC not only received nearly 200 holiday
turkeys and hams, but also secured a vast variety of shelf stable food items. Special thanks to Island Harvest, the Melville
Rotary Club, Melville Post Office, Long Island Cares, Great Neck Adult Learning Center, Pride for Youth in Bellmore, St. Rose
of Lima Parish in Massapequa and Temple B’nai Torah in Wantagh. The turnout from this year’s food drives was heartwarming.
Volunteers and agency staff gathered to pack holiday food bags. A donation of canvas grocery bags added the final touch to
the holiday packages, ready and waiting for delivery. Case Managers worked tirelessly to contact all of their clients and find
out if they would like food for the holidays. As requests were made, all program staff worked together to ensure that these
clients received their food. In November, approximately 70 turkeys were delivered to families requesting food for
Thanksgiving. Staff was able to ensure that every client had their turkey or ham with ample time to defrost and prepare the
meal for Thanksgiving Day.
The efforts continued through December, and throughout the month another 90 turkeys and hams were distributed. For the 2008
holiday season, LIAAC provided over 160 families with a holiday food basket. Staff continues to contact clients who are in
continuous need, as due to the generous donations, there is still some holiday food left that can be distributed. It is anticipated
that 2009 will be a positive year for the pantry program, and that all clients in need of food will be sufficiently accommodated.

WORLD AIDS DAY 2008
WORLD AIDS DAY 2008
THE FIGHT CONTINUES - By Caitlin D’Aquisto
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in the
United States 56,300 new individuals were infected with HIV in 2006, which
illustrates the HIV epidemic in the United States is still prevalent and still
growing. Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties) still has one of the highest
suburban HIV/AIDS infection rates in the country and more AIDS cases than 26
individual states.
December 1, 2008 marked the 20th anniversary
of World AIDS Day. Since 1988, on this day
people all over the United States and the world
come together and work towards raising awareness on the global AIDS epidemic. This year’s
theme for Worlds AIDS Day is Leadership,
encouraging leaders at all levels to stop AIDS.
In recognition of World AIDS Day and this year’s
theme Leadership, The Long Island
Association for AIDS Care, Inc. (LIAAC),
extended World AIDS Day into a week-long
event, from Monday December 1st through
Friday December 5th. The focus of the week
was to encourage Long Islanders of all ages to
become informed about HIV and also
encourage high-risk individuals to get tested.
The initiative was put forth through outreach,
testing, and educational interventions.
For the initiative, LIAAC deployed unmarked
testing vans to high-need communities such
as in Wyandanch, Freeport, Hempstead and
Brentwood, where LIAAC staff provided free
confidential HIV testing and counseling.
LIAAC staff also conducted outreach;
providing education about harm reduction and
HIV and distributed educational materials and
safer sex materials. Supplemental pantry
bags were also offered to those in need of
food through the Hunger Prevention Nutrition
Assistance Program (HPNAP) one of the
many services LIAAC offers. LIAAC also
worked with Suffolk County Community
College in Riverhead and Nassau County
Community College in Garden City, providing
HIV testing and counseling to college
students. A resource table was also available,
with an educator present, for students to ask
questions and obtain information. Staff
conducted outreach distributing educational
and safer sex materials.
In staying with the focus of reaching and encouraging all ages to become informed about HIV,
LIAAC went to local high schools and middle
schools, presenting educational interventions
and hosting health fairs. At these presentations
LIAAC staff were able to interact with the
students and answer questions, while handing
out educational information about HIV/AIDS.
This helped to make this year’s event a success.
Other agencies LIAAC collaborated with
throughout the week that made this year such a
success were Nassau County Department of
Social Services, United Way of Long Island,
Planned Parenthood and EOC of Suffolk.
When LIAAC first opened its doors in 1986 it had
only 1 staff member and 6 volunteers. Today
LIAAC has become a leader on Long Island in
the fight to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS on Long
Island and to support individuals infected with
and/or affected by the virus, with approximately
70 staff members, 6 consultants, and community
resources for special programs. LIAAC’s services include crisis intervention, confidential HIV
testing, Hepatitis C testing facilitation services,
case management, client advocacy, meal
programs, education programs, networking with
other agencies on housing, home care, longterm care, finding primary physicians and
dentists, as well as working closely with the
AIDS services designated hospitals

t LIAAC, we are always looking for ways to support our “fun” raising programs for the clients.
Whether it’s making sure every child in our client programs has a gift for the holidays or it’s
ensuring that every family has a Thanksgiving holiday meal, unrestricted donations directly benefit
our clients. So as the Chief Financial Officer, you can understand how surprised I was to get a call
from H & R Block, offering to donate money to our programs. Now, you too can help at this time
when it is difficult for everyone to write out an extra check, by having your taxes prepared at H & R
Block this year. Just mention The Long Island Association For AIDS Care when you have your taxes
prepared at H & R Block this year and they will donate $25.00 to LIAAC. It’s just that easy. So
please, pass the word around and don’t forget to mention LIAAC when you are having your taxes
prepared at H & R Block this year.
