Welcome to June


Where the midnight sun keeps us going, the mountains call us outside, and Alaska summer reminds us to slow down and enjoy the beauty around us. 


After a long winter, there’s nothing better than gathering together for fresh air, laughter, and community. This month is full of opportunities to connect, explore, and make the most of these beautiful summer days. Whether you’re joining us for an outdoor adventure, trying something new, or simply stopping by to visit with friends over coffee, we’re excited to spend the season with you.


This June, we’ll be enjoying:

• Scenic nature walks through Alaska’s beautiful outdoors
• A cozy summer bonfire with good company and stories
• Friendly volleyball games full of fun and laughter
• A hands-on pickling party to celebrate summer flavors
• Games, social gatherings, crafts, and more throughout the month.


We encourage everyone to participate in whatever way feels comfortable and enjoyable. Bringing a friend is always welcome!

Be sure to check the June calendar for dates and times of upcoming events. We have a wonderful month planned and can’t wait to see you there.


Here’s to a joyful June filled with sunshine, community, and plenty of Alaska adventure!


Warmly,

Chugiak Senior Center

Dear Friends, Welcome to March! Here in Alaska, March is a special time of year. After the long winter months, we finally begin to notice the days getting longer and brighter. Each afternoon brings a little more sunlight, a little more warmth, and a welcome reminder that spring is on its way. At the Chugiak Senior Center, March is a wonderful time to reconnect with friends and enjoy activities together as the light returns to our days. Whether you join us for a warm cup of coffee in the morning, a game with friends, a class, or one of our special events, we hope the center continues to be a place where everyone feels welcome and part of the community. This month we have a variety of activities planned to keep everyone engaged and connected. From social gatherings and games to wellness programs and community events, there are many opportunities to stay active and enjoy time together. As always, our staff and volunteers are here to make sure the center remains a friendly place where neighbors can visit, laugh, and support one another. March is also a time when many of us begin to look forward to the changing seasons—longer evenings, brighter mornings, and the promise of spring around the corner. Until then, we’re glad to share these late-winter days with all of you here at the center. Please take a moment to look through the newsletter for the full schedule of events and programs. We hope you’ll find something that sparks your interest and encourages you to stop by. Thank you for being such an important part of our Chugiak Senior Center family.
