What an unforgettable first Sing-a-Long Brunch in Anchorage—Galentine’s edition! 💖

We packed the house at 907 Alehouse & Grill, and wow—everyone showed up ready to have a good time. We sang our hearts out to everything from Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus to Journey and Neil Diamond. DJ Lefty and Nicky T kept the energy and vibes high, guests received goodie bags, and the staff at 907 Alehouse really outdid themselves with the delicious brunch buffet.

It was the perfect launch for Anchorage’s newest can’t-miss event. Start making plans now to join us on March 8 for our next Spring edition—“Let the Sun Shine” Brunch. Something tells us tickets won’t last long.

Special thanks to King Tech High School for their wonderful support in helping participants in Anchorage get ready for the event.

Last Friday’s Art Night was a creative hit!

We had five participants who, with the guidance from our guest instructor Judy Potts, created beautiful needle-felted portraits of Arctic cotton blossoms. One of the highlights of the evening was that everyone got to design a second felt piece in their own style, and Judy helped frame each finished piece, making them even more special!

The group shared how much they enjoyed learning a new art skill and how inspiring it was to create something with other people. They appreciated the enthusiasm, conversation, and sense of camaraderie, and described the evening as a fun and engaging way to spend time with friends and fellow art lovers.

Thank you to all who joined us! If you'd like to sign up for our next Art Night, simply visit www.hopealaska.org/artnights/signup.

And as always, thank you to UAA Center for Human Development - Alaska's UCEDD for the grant support that makes these classes possible!

Heavy snow, freezing rain, wind, and other Alaska winter conditions make outdoor safety awareness incredibly important. Weather can change on a dime, and cold-related injuries can happen quickly and without warning. Knowing how to prepare and when to get help can make all the difference.
