Letter: Grateful for community support

On behalf of all of us at the Kenai Watershed Forum I wanted to say thanks to everyone who came to our holiday open house this past week.

We are so fortunate to live in a strong, supportive community and are grateful for the generosity and friendship of all our neighbors throughout the Kenai Peninsula. If you missed our open house we would still love to have you stop by for a refreshment and get reacquainted with our staff. Wishing everyone good health and happiness in the coming year.

Jack Sinclair

Executive Director, Kenai Watershed Forum
