Programs &
Projects for the Year

relationships between local businesses, the community, and the members
of our Armed Forces in the Interior of Alaska. We want this organization
to become a permanent fixture that supports the mission of all military
service members and their families

and volunteers who exemplify the excellence of our Armed Services.
Military families are hosted by civilians in the community for an
evening of dinner and an awards ceremony. The event is typically held

members and civic leaders to show their support for our military friends
