Emergency Planning
On May 21st after service, Audrey Gray, the Emergency Programs Manager, Anchorage Office of Emergency Management, will be presenting emergency planning. Disaster preparedness, including wildfires will be her topic. Her talk will be about 30 minutes, in order to leave time for questions and answers. She has not been to ORLC for a number of years, but her last presentation was excellent. Please take advantage of this event.
To be sure there are enough supplies for this event, please indicate if you would like to attend by signing up in the Connections Table area, or contact Sally Coburn. Sally can also address questions if you have them; tag in person, text/call (907-240-2801) or email (parishnurse@orlc-ak.org or scoburnak@gmail.com ).
CPR Training
5K
We are discussing the possibility of hosting a Chugiak 5k Fun Run on June 24th. The vision is that this would be a community wide run/walk to benefit the Chugiak Volunteer Fire Department. ORLC would be the starting and ending point. We are looking for a few volunteers to help in the planning process. If you have any additional questions please contact Lauren Johnston.
There will be a Planning Meeting on Monday May 22nd @ 7:00pm.
Alaska Mission For Christ Service Opportunities
Kiana VBS Team: Dates TBD between May 20-June 17 (1 week within those dates).

There would also be a minimal food cost for the week.

An opportunity exists to join a long-serving team from southern California to share God's word through VBS ministry in this Yup'ik village. Flight path will be Anchorage to Bethel to Pilot Station (charter). Volunteers will be expected to cover their flight to Bethel and the shared cost of the charter. There would also be a minimal food cost for the week.
