Join Our Mailing List
Welcome!!!
To our new students, welcome! To our returning students, welcome back! Please join us in the Gathering Room this evening at 5:00 for our Open House! We'll be letting you know about some exciting things that are happening this semester, filling you in on our clubs and what they're up to, and (of course) eating some home-cooked food.

Thank you to all who helped make last

semester's Positive Connection Nights a success! If you haven't been to one of our PCN's before, you can expect a fun event and lots of food. Read on to find out when the upcoming ones are and don't forget to like us on Facebook for reminders.

On January 31st at 5:00pm we're going to kick off this semesters events with some Native Games!

On February 14th at 5:00pm we'll be hosting a Valentine's Day PCN. We're not sure what's in store yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Permanent Fund Dividend
It's a new year and that means you have to get used to writing 2014 on documents instead of 2013. It also indicates that we're headed toward a new Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend dispersal! But, before you can take a bite out of that pie, you must apply. It's easy to apply for the PFD using the State of Alaska website. Just click on this link http://www.pfd.state.ak.us/ and follow the prompts.

The deadline for applications is March 31st. Do it now so you don't forget!
