AWAIC Paint Nite

Wednesday, August 31 7:00PM

Hard Rock Cafe 415 E. Street Anchorage, AK

$45.00
Event details:
Raise your glass to a NEW kind of night out! Paint Nite® invites you to create your own unique piece of art, guided by a professional artist and party host. You’ll spend two hours painting, laughing, and flexing your creative muscles. There’s no experience necessary and we’ll provide all the supplies, so you don’t have to worry about a thing (except having a great time!).

Since 1977, AWAIC has been providing domestic violence safe shelter, intervention, and resources to women, men, and children in the Anchorage community. We are committed to providing support to victims of domestic violence, their friends, family, and the community as a whole. AWAIC is the largest domestic violence emergency shelter in Alaska, providing a full continuum of services for victims and those who care about them.

A foundation of empowerment is key to help all those affected by domestic violence, allowing them to make positive decisions in their lives. We believe that everyone has the right to live in a fear-free environment and we work toward eliminating domestic violence.

The event begins promptly at the start time listed above. Please allow extra time to find parking and get settled. If you’re coming with a group, make sure you arrive early to get seats together. We look forward to seeing you there!

Nature’s Play Lists

If you are not part of, or actually creating the sound how does that affect your thought process and emotional balance?

How do sounds affect your life? In traffic, the bass that is loud enough to shake your vehicle causes me to wonder about hearing loss. The struggles for sound supremacy between stereos and engine noise, especially throttle blipping could be a battle cry of road rage.

Outdoor recreation areas you still fee safe to visit, what sounds are now common? For example, we used to go the Goose Bay Airstrip because it afforded a great view across the inlet.

Last, and for me, the final time we were there these bands were playing: Fifth wheel campers in the middle, people shooting various firearms at one end of the runway and the other end had a helicopter practicing long lining.

What sounds of nature would your playlist contain?

The Tom Sawyer Cure

There’s a piece of paper on my desk – it’s in limbo, waiting till it gets put in its proper place – it’s been there for a while, but maybe this post means it can finally move on – anyhow, this is what it says:
