The 2018-2019 Special Projects Committee is pleased to announce that the theme of the Anchorage Petroleum Women's Foundation's February 9, 2019 Gala event, in support of Alaska Resource Education, will be "An Evening of Exploration." Guests are encouraged to dress in metallic fabrics and embrace the gold and black colors so prominent throughout Alaska's resource development industry. The Special Projects Committee, led by Special Projects Committee Chair Holly Lee and Deputy Chair Wanda Maxey, announced the theme at the October 17, 2018 Monthly Gathering Luncheon at Kinley's Restaurant.

Individual tickets for the event will be sold starting November 1 from our website's Non-Profit Partner Gala page. Corporate sponsorships are currently available, and the Gala Committee also is accepting donations for the annual silent and live auctions. Contact specialprojects@ancpwa.org to learn more about these opportunities.

The Anchorage Petroleum Women's Association hosted its bi-annual Welcome Social at The Lakefront Anchorage on September 28th from 5:30-8:30PM. Over 60 APWA members, spouses, potential members, and community partners attended this event.

​APWA Welcome Social events are held twice a year--in the fall and the spring--to provide the Anchorage community with more information about the organization and ways to get involved. Be on the lookout for our upcoming Spring Welcome Social, which will be held in March 2019.
