The Bashams, Charley and Lynn, have offered to host our year end celebration pot luck at their home on December 20, Monday, at 6 PM. Please cook up something from your area of service, if you could, and bring it. Ana Richards will be back from Anchorage with her new citizenship papers. Tony will be back from El Salvador, Pat and Marjorie are back from Spain where they practiced the Spanish that Ana taught them. The rest of us will probably have been back from somewhere--like hurricane relief in Florida or somewhere else--and will be looking forward to some good conversation.

Alaska Peace Dividends

Peace Corps volunteers from Alaska serving overseas for two years are currently not eligible for the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend. At one time they were but they were removed the eligible list several years ago. There was legislation this past session being considered to REINSTATE Peace Corps volunteers from Alaska on the PFD list, but it did not pass. To find out more about this issue and what you can do to help go to the akpeacedividends.org web site.
