Homer Alaska - Letters

On behalf of the Southern Kenai Peninsula Communities Project, I would like to thank the many sponsors who made our health planning event on Feb. 25-26 at Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center a success. The generosity in our community, to support this gathering of more than 80 adults and nine youth, is just more affirmation of our community's ability to come together to create shared vision and tangible steps to improve the health of the community.

From Ninilchik to across the bay villages, hundreds have participated in our planning, and this event brought many new and ongoing participants the chance to prioritize directions and create action steps. Stay tuned for details and next steps on our Web site, www.skpcommunitiesproject.net.

Thanks to these generous supporters: Wells Fargo Bank, South Peninsula Hospital Service Area Board, The Center, South Peninsula Hospital Foundation, SPH, Islands and Ocean, Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic, Sustainable Homer, Kachemak Bay Campus of KPC and SVT Health Center. Private contributors were Anne Walker, Beckie Noble and PeggyEllen Kleinleder.
