Don’t let the rain fool you, winter’s coming

By Jennifer Henley

Winter is heading our way. Talked with someone last weekend that had traveled back home Friday from up north who mentioned they got caught up in a little snow. But “rain drops keep falling on my head” seems to be the theme song for the Kenai Peninsula. We need to find a replacement for that record. I think the needle is stuck. Have a great weekend and be safe.

Visiting lawmakers

Don Young will speak at the Anchor River Inn at 1 p.m. Monday. At the Anchor Point Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday, the guest speakers will be Gary Stevens and Paul Seaton.

Anchor Point Chamber of Commerce

An election for the board of directors is coming up. Anyone interested in being on the board is asked to call 235-2600.

Thanks to everyone who attended the chamber’s 18th birthday party. Lots of prizes were won; Gene Lavin was the split the pot winner of $125. Dan Sullivan provided live music and did a great job. Everybody had a great time.

Dinners are on Thursdays and bingo begins at 7 p.m. Fridays.

Library

The library will be doing a fundraiser at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Anchor Point Senior Center. Mary and Arthur Griffith will be doing the play “Love Letters” and dessert will be served at intermission. There will be raffles and door prizes. The cost is $8 for singles or $15 for couples. The Griffiths did the play at Pier One several seasons ago and it was well received. If anyone would like to donate a cake for the evening, please let Lora at the library know.
