Sitka Retreat Center

At tonight’s Sheldon Jackson’s Facilities Big Picture Meeting, I announced that there is interest in starting a Sitka Retreat Center. I said I would post an e-mail address on how to contact me if you want more information or you want to be involved. Here it is: sjcwatch@gmail.com


In the near future I will start putting together a web site totally dedicated to the Sitka Retreat Center. For now this blog will have to function as the area to gather ideas and to share thoughts. I would encourage anyone who wants to post whatever they want to on the idea of a Retreat Center. However, I will delete any anonymous post. Sorry, I feel if you won’t post your name then your opinion should not count.

Please also watch for future post on this subject.

One more note; Chris will post an update on what happened at tonight’s meeting. I will just say that there was a lot of positive things said and it looks like there could be some positive things come from a lot of dedicated folks who are working hard to preserve parts of SJ. I assume there will also be a radio piece on Raven Radio so I’d assume that will be posted too. Meanwhile don’t forget you can go on Raven Radio’s web site for news on SJ and other Sitka news at this address: http://www.ravenradio.org/.

Sheldon Jackson Activities Meeting

A public meeting will be held Tuesday, January 29th, 7:00PM Centennial Hall, in order to update the public on the current activities of organizations involved with SJ(C?), including Hames Wellness Center, SJ Childcare, Library, and others. It may also serve as an opportunity to hear from and ask questions of Dr. Dobler and others.

Hope to see you there.

Sheldon Jackson Closure Big News

Each January the Sitka Daily Sentinel publishes a year-end feature of big news events. This year, the loss of Sheldon Jackson College topped the list as the biggest story of 2007. You're telling me.
