THANK YOU!
On behalf of the 2012 Auction Committee, AHC Staff, and our Board of Directors, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the fun, emotion and success of our 17th annual auction. It was truly an incredible evening and we could not have done it without an army of donors, volunteers, advertisers, sponsors, and very generous attendees who raised their bidder cards in record breaking numbers.
We are working hard to complete all of the important follow-up and tie up loose ends. When everything is ready, we will share more details and photos with you.
 Sincerely,
