Rain, rain go away, come again another day. There are a few of us in Anchor Point wondering if we need to start building an ark. We need a little sunshine to enjoy our summer activities. Don’t let summer slip on by without getting out there and enjoying all Alaska has to offer. Speaking of summer activities, the Fourth of July is around the corner. Look for a schedule of events at businesses around Anchor Point.

Anchor Point Chamber of Commerce

The chamber is open seven days a week: 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday through Monday.

Fourth of July buttons are on sale and the events are being planned. If anyone is interested in volunteering, please contact the chamber at 235-2600.

Anchor Point Library

There are books for all ages. Hours for the library are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday.

Anchor Point Senior Center

If you’re looking for something to do Friday, come out for a night of bingo starting at 7 p.m. Don’t forget the Thursday night dinners. Cost for members is $5; for nonmembers, $7.

From 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday, the senior center will hold a mini resource fair as well as a green cleaning demonstration to promote indoor air quality, which means cleaning without toxic chemicals. In addition, there will be door prizes and information on driver safety programs, the Arthritis Foundation exercise program, the Fire Smart Alaska program, Community Emergency Response Team and the disaster response program, future quilting classes and wellness circles for tobacco cessation.   VFW Post 10221
