Alaska Commission on Aging

Alaskan Seniors:
The 2022 Senior Survey is part of an effort to gather information about senior needs as the Alaska Commission on Aging with the State Plan Advisory Council develop the new state Plan for Senior Services, which will cover fiscal years 2024 through 2027. Your responses will be used to develop a core set of goals, objectives, strategies, and performance measures for the new State Plan for Senior Services. Alaska’s State Plan for Senior Services satisfies a federal requirement for the state to receive federal funds under the Older Americans Act for senior programs and services. These funds provide support for an array of senior services including home-delivered meals, congregate meals, transportation, family caregiver respite, in-home supports, elder safety, the Senior Voice, and much more.
The Plan’s goals also provide guidance for senior housing and vocational training for seniors who qualify for the Mature Alaskans Seeking Skills Training Program. Your answers will be totally anonymous. No one will know that these responses come from you. Please complete this survey by September 15, 2022. Please know that your voice matters. Your opinions are important and will help to develop a plan that is truly responsive to senior needs around the state.
Thank you for your participation!

Side Street Espresso

We have for thirty and a half years we have opened our doors to friends, locals and travelers and have been immensely rewarded by these associations. At the close of business on Friday, September 30, we will close our doors a final time and Side Street will become part of downtown Anchorage history. The work days during September will be like all past workdays, but not the same: we will be missing customers as we serve them, rejoicing knowing them and grieving not seeing them daily. Plus, we’ll be trying to sell a lot of Side Street stuff including some of George’s past drawings and books. We will close for business on September 30 and will take the month of October to clear out the space for a new occupant. We have a goal of finding ways to continue to give back to the community that has supported us these many years as well as develop other sources of income and stay connected. It is a work in progress, evolving daily. Postings to our facebook page for both Flutters and Side Street will keep you informed. For now please know how we look forward to this transformation and deeply feel how bittersweet it is.
With great gratitude for the thirty plus years,
Deb and George
