WHAT A WONDERFUL FESTIVAL. And what a wonderful REEL AFFIRMATIONS COMMUNITY. • Loyal patrons supported more than 60 programs that screened 120 films in 10 days. • Hundreds of tireless volunteers kept operations on track. • Generous sponsors contributed beyond expectations. • And amazing donors gave at every level to meet a $16,000 challenge gift and to raise more than $5,000 in pledges for the Plant A Seed filmmaker grant.

ONE IN TEN is deeply grateful that you’ve made REEL AFFIRMATIONS the largest glbt arts event in Washington, D.C., and that you continue to support its mission. To our donors, patrons, volunteers and sponsors, thanks for giving Reel Affirmations the sweetest of sixteenth birthdays!

Donors	Patrons	Volunteers	Sponsors
Venture Group and VIP donors give beyond the costs of event tickets, and they give early in the year when we incur set-up fees, like deposits for venues. • VENTURE GROUP & VIPs Generous donors to our general fund help us keep the lights on between events and, this year, met a one-time chance: a matching gift of $16,000. Support like this is vital to OIT! Thank you, donors!	Reel Affirmations is blessed with many and loyal patrons. See how you supported the festival in these collections of photographs from the 10 days of RA16. Photographs were taken by Thembi Duncan and Deb Duncan, both new volunteers at RA. • OPENING NIGHT FILM PARTY ‘METRO WEEKLY’ PICTURES • WOMEN’S BRUNCH • ‘BLUEPRINT’ SCREENING AND RECEPTION • CLOSING NIGHT FILM PARTY	One In Ten has two, wonderful paid staff members. They work extremely hard, but even they can’t do everything. They depend on hundreds of people who are willing to take their directions on getting the rest of the work done. In short, OIT wouldn't have programs without volunteer help. Thank you, volunteers, for making OIT’s work your work. • VOLUNTEERS Above: Volunteer Co-coordinators Jacquelyn Baker and Tim Evanson.	National and local businesses alike contribute their support to One In Ten and Reel Affirmations. Look through our sponsor list and, please, when you spend your money, consider spending it with our friends. • OIT SPONSORS Reel Affirmations’ community partners help us spread the word about RA programs and help us increase the circle of OIT friends. • COMMUNITY PARTNERS
