Each summer, Camp Fire Alaska partners with the National Military Family Association to host a week-long Operation Purple Camp for military youth in Alaska whose parents are deployed, just returned from deployment or soon will be deployed. This camp takes place at Camp K on Kenai Lake in Cooper Landing and is offered at no charge for families. Camp Fire Alaska also provides additional camperships for military youth to attend a variety of summer camps. Joanne Phillips-Nutter, Senior Director of Marketing and Development at Camp Fire, will join us to share more about these special opportunities for our nations’ youngest heroes.
Sullivan Arena on Monday, May 14, 2018 was the site of South Anchorage High School Graduation. The event was great, lots of excitement about what the future holds for about 300 students. Akila was in the front row and got a great view of all the speakers and performances. The Exchange students were given a certificate of completion, and a nice hard cover that a diploma would normally occupy. Akila really liked the ceremony, but she is back in school to take finals until the last day May 23, also her birthday. We all went out for a bite to eat Carl's Jr, Akila's choice - since her breakfast was a cup cake from the Night at the Races (thanks Cathie Straub) and lunch at the Sullivan Arena was a piece of chocolate Cake. We finished out the afternoon at Cold Stone Creamery and Thanks to Kevin Fimon and Dr Karen McCreary for treating us all to the best ice cream desert in Anchorage (my personal opinion)
IT's a BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR AKILA
May 23, 6pm at the Home of Penny May: 2811 Leaward Place
Our Wonderful Exchange Student Akila will celebrate her Birthday Wednesday May 23. We are having a picnic dinner at the home of Penny May. Fried Chicken will be provided and we ask you bring a side to share. There will be yard games and lots of fun. Akila said she has not had a birthday party since she was a little kid, so is very excited to celebrate with all our club members, her Alaska USA Family.
Need Gift ideas? She would really like gift cards (ie: prepaid visa's or marster cards - available at grocery stores) She has her heart set on getting souvenirs from Disneyland and other places on the West Coast Tour.
Note: This is a fireside event and will count as a meeting make up.

Going to the farms - last Tuesday Linda and Estella from the Food Bank led us out to the farms where we distributed food, blankets and clothing to the migrant farm workers. The need is so great, yet one of the workers had it in her heart to give something back and gave us a dozen fresh organic eggs! Among those helping out were Steve and Mary Ellis, Scott W, Joe and Haydee Pierro, Stephanie Tobin, Jim Glynn, Toni Holmes, Lucille and her very handsome husband Gabe.
