 Thank YOU!

 Thank you to all who participated in this year's Alternative Christmas Fair as local organization participants, AGI project booth sponsors, committee chairs, and volunteers. A special shout goes out to the GVPJ Board of Directors and our Intern Melissa. All of these amazing people make this Fair a success. Because of their hard work our Fair ranks among the top AGI Fairs in the nation! Last year we were ranked among the top five!

We would also like to thank the media for their amazing coverage of this event and our event sponsors (listed below) for making this event possible.

We would like to draw special attention to Randy Majors Class at the Fruita 8/9 School for their commitment to adopting an abundance of global projects and for the care they give to creating attractive displays for each of their projects.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who attended the Fair at the Lincoln Park Barn and in the weeks following! The organizations that will receive assistance and the peoples' lives that will be touched because of the kind generosity of people in the Grand Valley is un-measurable.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Mark Your Calendars!
