On July 23rd, Lureen and I were able to attend the Sitka Tribe of Alaska (STA) annual community picnic at the Baranof Playground. The turnout was great despite the rain showers Sitka was having. While we were there, the Alaska Native Brotherhood Camp 1 President Wilbur Brown and STA Chairman Michael Baines presented me with a photo of the Alaska Native Brotherhood Founders Hall (ANB Camp 1). The photos were a before and after of the renovations needed to prepare for the 100 year anniversary. While Co-Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, I secured funding for the restorations of several of these community halls throughout Southeast Alaska over several phases. These buildings are very valuable to the culture of our communities as organizations use the buildings for many different events.
