The Alaska Women's Lobby would like to express its most sincere gratitude to the people and businesses that made our salsa dance and silent auction fundraiser such a successful event.

To the businesses that donated the Gustavus Getaway package: Air Excursions, two roundtrip airfares, Juneau-Gustavus; the Good River Bed & Breakfast, a night for two; and Glacier Bay Sea Kayaks, a double kayak day rental. It was a wonderful package for our live auction, and a HUGE help to our fundraising effort. Thank you, Gustavus. To our local businesses that donated awesome items for our silent auction: Annie Kaill's, Ben Franklin, Boheme, Choco's, Imagination Station, Lisa Davidson's Boutique, Rejuvenation Day Spa, Energy Works, and K&L Distributors. To those who provided hand-made wares, gourmet meals, and desserts: JA Jules, Colette Costa and Linda Cohen, Angela Salerno, Lissa Kramer, Bret Connell, Jill Taylor, Linda Cohen and Eileen Hosey. All of your contributions made for a beautiful array of silent auction items. Thank you.

And to those who actually made the event happen: Salsa Borealis, Antonio Diaz and Heather Haugland, Juneau Arts & Culture Center and Marlintini's Lounge. It was because of your great efforts that this event was such a success. Thank you.

Lastly, we thank those who attended the event, bid on auction items, and donated to the Alaska Women's Lobby. Through your contributions, the Alaska Women's Lobby will be able to continue to provide a voice for Alaskan women, children and families.
