SEARHC would like to thank everyone who participated in the “Choose Respect” march that was held on March 31. Your presence made a statement that our community does care! A thank you to the sponsors of this event, the Haines Police Department, the Alaska Side, Fort Seward Lodge, and Howsers IGA. Without your help, this event would not have been nearly as successful. A thank you to the drummers; your drumming and songs empowered us. A special thank you to our guest speakers: Jan Hill, police chief Gary Lowe, Mike Barnhill and Andrea Browning. I would also like to express my gratitude to chief Lowe, who was so helpful and supportive, to Rusty Gooden for your wonderful edibles. They were such a hit. And a big thank you to IGA, for the beautiful fruit tray which didn’t last long. And finally, a big thank you to the library for letting us hold the event there!
Each and every one of you played an important part and I would like to personally thank you. Hope to see you next year.
