At a recent APA board meeting on November 23 the first official Revolutions challenge was made by Dr. Schwartz of Providence Family Medicine Residency. Dr. Schwartz challenged Dr. Tom Hunt of Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center to a friendly competition. 
The competition is on between the two clinics as they have agreed to each have a team participate and a challenge as to who can raise the most funds.
Getting geared up is the APA Team which will be headed up by board member and cycling enthusiast Art Weiner. The team is an energetic group and I bet they would love to be challenged. We are grateful to also have Capital Management Benefits and Alaska Cancer Care Alliance on board with their teams. February 6 is around the corner, so sign up a team now and get involved.

Congratulations to JoAnne Cummings and Heather Felder from Cornerstone Clinic as our winners in ‘Name Our Event’ Contest. We combined two entries to come up with Revolutions, Spinning for Health Care. Thanks to all of you who entered the contest. Along with our event name we had a logo created thanks to Tom Hoffman with Tom Hoffman Graphic Design.
We are looking for volunteers to serve on two crucial committees: team recruitment and sponsorship. There are many opportunities available for you to participate and join the fun. Please give us a call if you want to help.
