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. We look forward to seeing you throughout the month.

Warm regards,


Your Chugiak Senior Center Team
