LETTER: Thanks to MEA from Good Shepherd Church

To the editor:

Thank you to the Matanuska Electric Association and MEA members. Usiing a community grant through MEA, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, located at 501 E. Bogard Road, was granted monies for our handicap access door.

The Good Shepherd building is used by multiple user-groups on a regular basis; Next Step Program for special needs students, Food Pantry patrons, Strong Women Cooperative Extension Services, cooking classes through cooperative extension services and pre-school students and parents. Good Shepherd is in agreements with Primrose Retirement Community and Wasilla Area Seniors, Inc. to be their designated shelter in case of emergency.

MEA members make this possible through ‘Operation Roundup’ on your electric bill.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church would like to thank all MEA customers who participate. I encourage everyone to sign up for this program. This helps the whole community to make differences in the quality of people’s lives.
