Thank You, Angie
Dear Editor: For the last four and half years, Angie DelMoral has been the executive director of Brave Heart Volunteers. Angie never hesitated to take on whatever challenge that presented itself, and has been unwavering in her dedication to BHV. Brave Heart Volunteers is stronger than ever, due to Angie’s commitment to BHV’s mission to provide companionship, respite and education to those facing loneliness, grief and end of life. Angie brought joy, organization, creativity, strong leadership skills and love into her role as our ED. We are going to miss her!
We are very excited to announce Jason Own will be the next executive director of BHV. Because of Angie’s dedication to BHV, Jason will have a smooth transition.
Thank you, Angie. We wish you the best!

Shoebox Project
Dear Editor: It is with a spirit of gratefulness that we want to extend our thanks to several businesses in Sitka who contributed to this year’s Operation Christmas Child shoebox project. The Hames Corporation, Alaska Computer Center and White’s Pharmacy made generous donations to help us fill the shoeboxes which are distributed to needy children worldwide.
Caring Sitkans donated hundreds of items, and folks from Calvary Chapel Sitka, Grace Harbor and Sitka Christian Center packed their own boxes.
Altogether 325 shoeboxes were filled up and taken to Alaska Marine Lines who once again graciously provided shipping to Juneau where all the shoeboxes from Southeast Alaska are gathered together and shipped to Los Angeles for distribution.
Shoebox recipients, kids ages 2-14, also will be introduced to Jesus, our reason for the season. To learn more about this project, you can search for Operation Christmas Child online.
