In addition to the community partners that assisted with the screening of "Paper Tigers," I would also like to thank ACEsConnection members Jaclynne Richards and Deborah Bock for their roles in organizing this event, spreading the word, and their support during and after the screening. In addition to programming support, Jaclynne hosted a table with materials from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, Epidemiology Center, Healthy Families Initiative Program.
