Description

We're a delightful mix of current and former residents as well as prospective and past visitors. This group is unique in that the manager is a current Alaska resident, and actively interacts with our members on a very regular basis. I'd love to have you join us whether you live here, formerly lived here, or just view Alaska as a great vacation destination (which it is!)

Guidelines

We treat each other with kindness and respect.
