A quick update

It has been too long since we wrote a new post, sorry about that.  This is just a quick update on the group and some events in Fairbanks.

Our first big event came this year with a visit (our second one in an academic year!) from Peace Corps recruiter Stephanie.  We are so lucky to have a recruiter visit not once but twice in such a short amount of time.  Stephanie was able to give a lot of classroom talks at UAF and she led a panel of RPCVs at the Wood Center in a talk about the Peace Corps.

March 1st through the 7th marks the celebration of the creation of Peace Corps and its 54th anniversary as an organization.  If you are an RPCV, this week is a great time to share your experiences with the Peace Corps in your community.
Some recommended activities are: school presentations, blog posts, panels, and informational talks.

In May the Northern Alaska Peace Corps Friends is planning a send off party for those in Fairbanks who are leaving for the Peace Corps.  If you know of anyone who is leaving for their service in the coming months please feel free to contact us so that we can send them an invitation to the send off party.

Will you succeed? Yes, you will indeed. Ninety-eight and three-
quarters percent guaranteed!  

Step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s a great balancing act. 

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
