Carla Beam, Board Member, Chairman of the Board, Anchorage Dear Friends, I came to Alaska 34 years ago, but long before then, I felt a connection. When I was little, in the days before DVDs, we had something called a Viewmaster. It was a miniature projector that allowed you to look at photographic slides embedded in little round cards that rotated through the device. My favorite card was of Alaska. I must have looked a thousand times at the photos of mountains, tundra, Native villages, and wildlife. I also heard the stories of my father and his buddies who came north to ski and climb.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2006 Arctic Winter Games held in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska was a terrific experience for all members and supporters of Team Yukon. Our contingent finished forth in the medal standings with a much younger group of people than in previous Games, and their general behavior and attitude was exceptional. As always there are a number of interesting challenges throughout the journey, but it only made the Games more memorable in the eyes of many. Our thanks and appreciation are extended to the 2006 Host Society, the communities of Girdwood, Homer, Kenai, & Soldotna, AWG International Committee, and all of the dedicated sponsors, partners, and volunteers who will be remembered for their tremendous hospitality and commitment to the Games movement. The following report will provide an overview of operations of Team Yukon. General recommendations follow each heading. 2.
