Tuesday, Nov. 26, 7:00 pm
SVT Conference Center
The Seldovia Museum is thrilled to announce that award-winning Alaskan storyteller, author, playwright and actor Jack Dalton will be giving a free storytelling concert in Seldovia on Tuesday, November 26.
Jack is famous for his humorous and engaging stories that are appropriate for all ages.
He has traveled all over the world, sharing stories that are rooted in his Yup’ik heritage but appeal to people of every culture. Jack has been honored as one of Alaska’s “Top 40 under Forty”, and received the very first Expressive Arts grant awarded by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.
Jack will perform for the students at Susan B. English School during the day, and then give a storytelling concert for the public at 7:00 pm at the SVT Conference Center (upper floor of the ATC building on the Bay side). Thanks to generous sponsorship from the Institute for Museum & Library Services, the Seldovia Museum is able to offer this fantastic evening for free. Refreshments will be provided as well.
Don’t Miss This Great Event!
Come enjoy an evening celebrating laughter,
life and our wonderful Alaska heritage!

Community Signs Discussions to be held November 27
by Tim Dillon, Dillon & Dillon
To everyone in the community:
I am holding a community meeting on Wednesday, November 27 from Noon to One, in the Sea Otter Community Center to discuss SIGNS.
This discussion will be one of two community discussions I will sponsor over the next three weeks. We as a community need to prioritize where signs are needed, what types of signs they should be and what they should say. As a starting point I indicated on the Byways grant that we will have signs at the OtterBahn, Rocky Ridge Trail and in the new Gateway Pavilion to be built on the harbor front.
These signs will be interpretive and informational. They will be fairly large and are required per the grant award. In addition to these signs we need to prioritize directional signage through the community to assist visitors. We have all seen tourists standing here or there with maps in their hands wondering which way to go. We need to address this issue for sure.
Please show up and help out.
