On the third Saturday of each month volunteers from Nenana Community Church help deliver food to the Elders and low income families. January was our month. The delivery takes about two hours, and involves taking the boxes from the van to the door. In the senior center, they have a couple carts so we don't have to carry all the boxes.
Every three months the Native Council, Railbelt Mental Health Center and the City of Nenana sponsor a community meeting. We attended the meeting last night and there was a great turn out. There were about 150 people there, native and white. We got to meet the chief, Mitch Demitrioff, and had a great time talking with everyone. There were reports about the native clinic, the school, the city water plant, a new day care, a few new streetlights, and resurfacing the existing streets.
