The county's largest AIDS service group held an open house here this week to mark the official opening of its new South County branch office. "Our goal is to bring ourselves and our programs to those that need them, rather than having them have to come to us," said Patrick Jager, director of development for AIDS Service Foundation. "We do not want to have to make people who are ill go any more out of their way than they have to."

The Centennial Farm at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa was the scene of an old-fashioned hoedown to benefit the AIDS Services Foundation/Orange County. About 450 guests--many in fancy cowboy boots--attended the Round-Up for Life II barbecue and country-western dance Saturday.

But he stops short of urging them to push their bodies beyond the limit with just a little more weight or a few more repetitions. He knows they're already pushing themselves as hard as they can. For some, that may mean traditional bodybuilding, increasing muscle mass by lifting progressively heavier weights. But for others, weights are out of the question.
