About DC H2O
What is H20? What can it provide for me?
- H2O is a multi-cultural, volunteer social group for people with herpes and/or HPV
- H2O offers fun people spending time together at fun events
- H2O can provide friendship and support from others with herpes/HPV
- H2O activities are a safe environment for meeting lots of great, fun-loving people
- H2O activities are “different from the routine”
How H20 Works
The volunteer social committee (anyone is welcome to help!):
- Collects information for potential group events
- Holds meetings to set up, generate, and email the calendar
- Promotes the existence of the group and its activities
- Hosts each activity, and provides blue balloons to allow people to discretely identify the group
- Collects donations for some activities
- Accounts for money donated, allocates that money for the telephone hotline, and purchases food for parties and picnics
(Some of the larger events have entry fees to help offset our overhead.)
How to Participate
