It’s not too late to register for the Spokane AIDS Network “Walk of Life ‘95” set to take place on June 10.

The event starts at 10 a.m. at Coeur d’Alene Park in Browne’s Addition.

Every year the walk raises money for the Spokane AIDS Network and its various services, from education to emergency assistance.
