Smart 911, presented by AAH Volunteer Bill Witte

This service helps 9-1-1 protect your family by providing more information to first responders. We met on on Zoom to learn about Smart 911 and how to set it up so we are more prepared in case of emergency.

March 2024: Margaret Merritt

Join us for a conversation with local author Margaret Merritt about her book, "Adventures of an Alaskan Woman Biologist."

Margaret F. Merritt is a scientist, author, public speaker, and outdoorswoman who has lived in Alaska since 1977. She attended the University of California, Utah State University, and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Alaska. After decades of writing and publishing in scientific literature, she has recently focused her research and writing on historical biographies. "I like to bring forward stories of adventurous people who show remarkable characteristics that inspire us. I write to entertain, educate, and encourage reflection on past issues that remain relevant today." 

January 2024: Christine McClure

Our January author has researched and written two books with an important story about the people who built the Alaska Highway. Here's a preview from Christine:

In 1942, desperate for a way to transport men and material to Alaska to defend the Aleutians from the Japanese, the Army launched seven regiments of the Corps of Engineers into the frigid far north to build a land route to Alaska. Three of the seven were segregated black regiments. Both books, We Fought the Road and A Different Race, come from our effort to learn and share the experience of the heroes, especially the mistreated and forgotten black heroes, who forged that road over the mountains and through the muskeg swamps of a vast subarctic wilderness--1600 miles in just eight months.
