Aspect 2008 Holiday Party
Event funds clean water for village in India

Aspect Consulting and our employees enjoyed a lively holiday party that was focused around a charity auction to benefit Water 1st International, a Seattle-based non-profit organization working in developing countries to implement community-managed projects in water supply, sanitation and health education. The evening included a silent auction, a live auction, a vacation time raffle, and a marketplace with goods provided by Water 1st. Aspect "seeded" the auction to get the bidding started and then the generosity of our team kicked in to double the amount raised -- $6,622 for Water 1st!

The holiday mood was festive for the event held in the Chinese Room at the top of the Smith Tower. Was it the 35th floor view of snow falling on the city? The cans of PBR that were so popular from the bar? Or was it the humor of our home-grown auctioneers? We're not sure, but it sure was a fun night, and much appreciated by Water 1st International.


"Wow! Aspect Consulting has blown our socks off with the generosity of your employees in an impressive auction process. Your contribution is more than enough to provide a village in India with clean water, sanitation facilities and hygiene/health education. Water 1st is very grateful that you chose to support our work this holiday season."
