This workshop will be held 8:30am-5pm on January 27 and January 28 at the Kachemak Bay Campus. <br><br>The workshop is led by the Alaska Humanities Forum, sponsored by the Homer Foundation, and organized by Guiding Growth--an ad hoc group of citizens whose mission is to create a tool box for guiding growth in our community. Through civic discourse, good conversation, and relevant resources, the group鈥檚 purpose is to empower participation in the vision of how the Homer community develops. The Homer-area has become polarized and divided over issues that impact all of us. However, if there is one thing we have in common, it's that we share our lives here and hope for the best for our friends and families. <br><br>Contact Taylor Strelevitz at </span><a href="mailto:tstrelevitz@akhf.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">tstrelevitz@akhf.org</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or Mercedes Harness at </span><a href="mailto:mercedesharness@gmail.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">mercedesharness@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to register.</span></div> <div style="text-align:center;margin:30px 0 15px 0;"> <hr style="width:90%;color:#ccc;"> </div> <div style="margin:10px; top: 0;"> <div style="height:20px;font-size:12px;line-height:20px;color:#757575;margin-bottom:10px;"> Posted: <em>1/22/24</em></div> <div style="font-size:24px;color:#314689;margin-bottom:15px;line-height:30px;"><img src="https://kpc.alaska.edu/kpcword/_images/new.png" alt="This is new news!" style="width:55px;">Pick.Click.Give.</div><img src="/kpcword/_images/pcglogo.png" alt="pick click give logo" width="150" style="float:left; width:150px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;"><span>KPC is an official Pick.Click.Give organization! </span><span>Pick.Click.Give. allows Alaskans to donate a portion of their Permanent Fund Dividend to causes they care about statewide.</span><br><br><span>While applying for their PFD online, Alaskans can choose to Pick.Click.Give. in increments of $25.
