Yeehaw! Grab your boots and warm up those vocal cords—it's time for Wasilla's Outlaw Country Sing-Along Brunch!

Join Hope Community Resources and Everett's for an afternoon of great food, great music, and even better company. Whether you're a country music fan or just love belting out the chorus with friends, this is your chance to sing along to your favorite country classics in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

We'll keep the hits rolling with songs from Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, George Strait, Luke Combs, and more. No stage. No pressure. Just a room full of people singing, laughing, and making memories together.

Seating is limited, so don't wait to reserve your spot!

We are excited to celebrate Direct Support Professional (DSP) Appreciation Week! From September 13-19, we'll be honoring the incredible work of the hundreds of direct support employees here at Hope. Direct support providers are at the heart of in-home and community-based disability services. They provide essential support that helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to lead full, independent lives.

DSP Appreciation Week is a great opportunity for Hope and all community members to highlight the dedicated, innovative, compassionate direct support workforce that is the heart and soul of supports for people with disabilities.

We invite everyone—support recipients, their families, staff members, community partners, and friends—to join us in showing appreciation for all the DSPs in our community. Your participation and encouragement is meaningful to those who work so hard to make a difference in the lives of others.

Let's take the opportunity this week to unite in gratitude and recognition for the DSPs at Hope and across the nation who deserve year-round recognition for their hard work and endeavours.

Building on the momentum of past events, the conference will once again bring together partners from across Alaska to share knowledge, explore innovative practices, and build partnerships in support of Trust beneficiaries. Attendees can expect engaging sessions, meaningful dialogue, and opportunities to connect around solutions that improve access, outcomes, and quality of life for Alaskans served by the mental health and disability care system.

International Week of Deaf People is celebrated annually during the last full week of September by national and regional associations of the Deaf, local communities, and individuals worldwide. Hope's Deaf Supports team hosts a variety of events and activities. Stay tuned for more details and information as the event approaches by visiting our website and following us on social media.
