Welcome from the Vice President of FHC USA
As a national vice president of FHC USA I am pleased to welcome all of you to this very important event in Anchorage Alaska. To be held in one of our newest areas of expansion. I'm particularly pleased with the honorees because knowing each of them and their lifetime commitment to their Community is well deserved. My experiences in Alaska have always been very precious as I studied at the University of Alaskan Fairbanks and had my first opportunity to meet the Dalai Lama. I wish to thank Claudia and all the organizers of this event and for all of their hard work put in to make this one of the best ever. Therefore welcome to this great event.
