🐾🎭 Happy National Dog Day!

Hi, it’s Sadie & Joey, AJT’s official office dogs! We spend our days supervising important things like paperwork, meetings, snack distribution and making sure everyone takes enough breaks. Naturally, we believe every workplace needs more dogs. 🐶❤️

Happy Dog Day to all our fellow office dogs out there!

We couldn’t do what we do without the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. Now, let’s come together as a community and support their mission to replace the Discovery Theatre’s 40-year-old equipment and help keep this vital space welcoming, accessible and ready for the next generation.

Every gift helps keep the performing arts thriving in Alaska! 🎭❤️

📚✨ We’re so proud to partner with Bright Lights Book Project!

Every child deserves the opportunity to discover the joy of reading, and Bright Lights Book Project is helping make that possible by putting books into the hands of Alaska’s children. We’re grateful for the work Alys and the Bright Lights team are doing to nurture a love of reading and make children’s literacy a priority in our community.

KNBA recently featured Alys and Bright Lights Book Project; check out the video below to learn more about their incredible work! ❤️📖
