Tickets are on sale now for the Deborah J. Simon Spotlight 2023, presented by the Indiana AIDS Fund, Inc (IAFI), in conjunction with Clowes Memorial Hall of Butler University. This singular, celebrated night of song, dance, art and drama benefit will take place on Monday, April 17th, 2023, at the Butler Arts Center’s beautiful Clowes Memorial Hall. Showtime starts at 7 p.m. with a VIP reception at 6 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the Indiana AIDS Fund, Inc., to fund HIV prevention across Indiana.
For over 25 years, Spotlight has brought the Indianapolis performing arts community together for the largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser of its kind in the Midwest. The event continues its tradition of featured performances by immensely talented musicians, poets, dancers and visual artists from multiple genres—some local legends; others, globally recognized.
"Last year was our first year back in a live setting," says Jason Grisell. "We're excited to bring everyone together, once again, to laugh, be moved, and know at the end of the day, we're making a real difference in the community."
Spotlight is the Indiana AIDS Fund’s primary fundraising tool that builds, supports and enhances HIV treatment, prevention and testing programs in Indiana. It is through this annual event, along with help from a growing list of dedicated sponsors, that IAFI aims to help Hoosiers at risk for contracting the disease and increase the amount of funds granted to agencies across the state for HIV prevention.

THE holidays are just around the corner, and it is time to consider getting a head start on dressing the kitchen for family festivities. Surely, the kitchen will experience a lot of people traffic if planning to host with large groups. Instead of losing cool to get everything done within a limited timeframe, how about getting some important tasks done ahead of time. Here are five tips that can be taken right now to make life easier during the holidays. 1. Check or upgrade kitchen appliances. During the holiday season, the stovetop and oven are essential allies for preparing festive meals like roasted chicken, baked mac and cheese, pies, and cookies. Without reliable appliances, holiday cooking can quickly turn stressful. To avoid any last-minute breakdowns, make sure to have kitchen appliances cleaned, inspected and serviced well in advance. If looking for new kitchen appliances or want to upgrade overall kitchen experience during this arduous time, consider these top grade products from Wilcon Depot. Make holiday meal preparation effortless with the Hamden Free Standing Cooker with Oven. Its design allows one to cook multiple dishes at once, saving valuable time in the kitchen. Or if simply want to buy a new induction hob for preparing a big holiday meal, Wilcon's got this for all. 2. Prepare cookwares Whip up family favorites with reliable cookware. The Kessel non-stick casserole saucepan is perfect for stews, sauces, and soups. Its non-stick features offer a quick and easy clean up. For those char-grilled flavors that bring the holiday spirit to life, the Kessel Non-Stick Griller Pan delivers splendidly. Ideal for grilling meats and vegetables, it captures the perfect sear without the hassle of food sticking to the surface. The kessel armor series is also infused with high-performance construction handles. This versatile cookware withstands high temperatures, making it a go-to for slow-cooked holiday dishes. The non-stick wok cookware is perfect for those who want to make stir-fried sides or Asian-inspired dishes for the holiday table. With its deep sides and wide surface, one can easily toss ingredients for evenly cooked, flavorful meals. For the centerpiece of the holiday meal, the Euroware Roaster Rack is essential. Elevate poultry or roast meats, allowing juices to circulate for perfectly browned, evenly cooked results. It is the foundation for any holiday roast. Stay organized in the kitchen with a metal basket for stress-free cooking. It offers a practical solution for keeping ingredients, utensils, or even baked goods neatly stored and easily accessible. Also, keep counters safe from hot pots and pan with a metal trivet. Its sleek design complements any kitchen while offering reliable protection for heat-sensitive surfaces during the busy holiday cooking rush. 3. Organize fridge, pantry and cupboard A clutter-free kitchen helps streamline meal preps, so one can focus on merry-making. Start by categorizing pantry essentials, discarding expired items, and grouping similar products together for easy access. As soon as now, one can also start listing down the ingredients or things needed in preparing a holiday feast. Organize the fridge, pantry, and cupboards into a holiday-ready space with smart storage solutions. Use clear bins and labels in organizing to easily find what is needed. 4. Reimagine the Christmas table Reimagine the holiday table this season with festive dinnerware. Start by setting the scene with beautifully crafted plates, bowls, and serving pieces that capture the spirit of the holidays. Opt for classic reds and green, or elegant metallics, or play with whimsical patterns. Mix and match textures, add seasonal accents like pinecones or holly, and layer plates to create a stunning display that feels both thoughtful and inviting. The holidays are a time to gather with loved ones, and the way the table is set plays a key role in shaping that experience. Choosing festive dinnerwarebrings a touch of magic to every meal. Consider pairing dishes with chic napkins, glassware and centerpieces that complement the theme. 5.Kitchen extension This holiday season, why not take celebrations outside and makeshift the patio into a festive outdoor kitchen? With a little creativity and few home fixtures the outdoor kitchen is good to go. Start with a spacious six-seater table set, ideal for hosting family dinners or casual gatherings. This durable yet stylish table set allows one to comfortably serve meals while embracing the refreshing outdoor air. To complete the scene, the Banana Umbrella adds a sleek, modern touch while providing essential shade, keeping guests relaxed during midday feasts or evening festivities. And maintain the cleanliness of the space with an outdoor trash bin. It is only October and yet it is beginning to feel like Christmas. Take this time to hang Christmas lights, lanterns and other Christmas-sy decors. Make entryways more festive with wreaths and decorations.
