You know what I think:
....I could not be more proud of what we accomplish – often under very challenging conditions – here on the frontlines of arctic marine research.
But what do you think?
Tell the world what you think of THE ALASKA SEALIFE CENTER and help us receive $5,000 to toward our mission!
The ASLC has an opportunity to receive $5,000 from GuideStar USA, Inc., a leading source of nonprofit information, and KIMBIA, a group that empowers nonprofits and other organizations to increase giving; a gift that they are making available through their Winter 2011 GuideStar-KIMBIA Nonprofit Giveaway. This generous gift could help us accomplish our mission of generating and sharing scientific knowledge to promote understanding and stewardship of Alaska’s marine ecosystem - we have many deserving small projects that we could accomplish for $5k, including:
* installation of new television monitors to better show visitors our animals in quarantine
* construction of a new marine literature display featuring the publications of great Alaskan writers
* development of a new interpretive panel to describe our research on Cook Inlet belugas
* funding a summer intern to gain experience in marine education
Your reviews will help document how we are "making an impact". Anyone with firsthand knowledge about us who is not a paid employee of the Alaska SeaLife Center — visitors, donors, community members, research and education partners and supporters of our cause generally — can write a review about us on GuideStar. All reviews will appear in our profile on both GuideStar and GreatNonProfits, GuideStar’s partner that makes it possible to write and post reviews. You are limited to posting only one review.
To write a review, please click on http://www2.guidestar.org/organizations/92-0132479/seward-association-advancement-marine-science.aspx. You will see the Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science, aka, the Alaska SeaLife Center “Write a Review” link on the left side of the page.
We thank you in advance for taking the time to support the ASLC.
Please feel free to pass this message along!
