Membership dues are $12 a year, and all are welcome. For call or text Nancy, 907-227-9102, with questions.

Dr. Al Gross will speak 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Crescent Harbor shelter.

Attendees are expected to wear a mask and maintain social distance.
Supporters are invited to meet at the Crescent Harbor parking lot at 4:30 p.m. for a 45-minute drive through Sitka. At 6:40 p.m., Sitkans can meet on top of the O’Connell Bridge to welcome Gross to town. Signs are encouraged for both events, organizers said.

Virtual Halloween
Pumpkin Carving
Contest on Tap
A Halloween virtual pumpkin carving contest, sponsored by 3 to 5 Preschool, is being held through Saturday, Oct. 31.
Everyone can submit photos or videos of their pumpkins to enter to win one of three $25 gift card prizes to local businesses.
Categories are silliest, scariest and most creative. The entry fee is $10 per pumpkin; however, if the pumpkin was purchased at the Oct. 17 Pumpkin Patch event, the fee is $5.
Winners will be announced and contacted on Nov. 1. To enter, please visit www.3to5preschool.org/fundraising or look for our event on Facebook.
The preschool also is holding its Monster Mash Dash (a virtual 5K costume run/walk) on Oct. 31.
‘‘This will be a great way to spread some Halloween cheer, do something healthy for yourself and also safely socially distance,’’ the preschool said. ‘‘The virtual 5K means that you will dress up in your costume, at a time of your own convenience and run/walk a 5K route of your choice.’’
A Monster Mash Dash music video will be up on Facebook and the school’s website. Participants will receive a medal. To participate, visit www.3to5preschool.org/fundraising or look for the event on Facebook.
