Sustaining Your Company Culture
By Shelley Abrams
In my last article, Company Culture: The Force Behind Success, I discussed the role a strong company culture plays in the success of a company. In that article I stressed that success must be constantly nurtured so it becomes what the company envisions, rather than turning into something unexpected that could eventually lead to the downfall of a company.

Volunteering at the Skwentna Checkpoint
By Keegan Fritts
In 1925, a daring sled dog relay delivered life saving serum to children in the village of Nome, Alaska. This event is now commemorated each March by the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which began in March 1973. The third year of the Last Great Race, my Father and Mother, Rob and Cyndy Fritts, who were new residents to the Skwentna, Alaska community, assisted Joe and Norma Delia at the Skwentna Checkpoint. While the Delias and my parents have since passed on, their legacies and traditions continue at the Delia Outback cabin, which has been the Skwentna Checkpoint for 47 years.
