WACAN.org Fall/Winter Season Ends

WACAN will go on hiatus for the next several weeks. In the meantime, enjoy this, our parting announcement.

*** FUNDRAISING - FINAL REPORT ***

WACAN's annual fundraiser ended last week. It was a difficult year for everyone. Members donated a total of $1,260, down slightly from 2004. Between the Tsunami, Katrina, and the earthquake in Pakistan many people were feeling tapped out. Thank you, thank you, thank you to our several generous donors, some of whom have been with us for three years now, and others who came forward for the first time. We pledge to keep your faith in 2006.
