The Alaska Basket Donations - B.Norbeck

FORE has once again thanked AKHIMA for their generous support of the 5th Annual FORE Not-So-Silent Auction at AHIMA's 2000 National Convention in Chicago.  AKHIMA's participation in the Auction helped to make it a huge success.  More than $20,000 was raised to support the FORE Merit Scholarship Program. 

 AKHIMA's

contribution of Alaska Made Items, valued at $175.00, went for a little under that amount.  I know this because I kept bidding it up!  All  items were Alaska made (I also did the shopping and shipping). My thanks also, on behalf of FORE, for your generous support.
