Community Calendar

Join us for an insightful community presentation with Homer local, Wendy Weber, as she shares practical tools for mindfulness and meditation. Whether you or your child are navigating stress, anxiety, perfectionism, or major life transitions, Wendy will guide participants in simple strategies to cultivate clarity, peace, and empowerment. This is a welcoming space to explore self-awareness and self-compassion as pathways to more joyful living.

After, we’ll have an hour of Yin Yoga led by Metis Riley. As always, free soup and bread will be provided, and all are welcome!

Bingo hosted by the Homer Emblem Club #350. Must be 19 years old to play by Alaska State law.

Have you seen the more than 100 pink flags flying around Homer and Anchor Point? They honor those who have experienced breast cancer and remind us that early detection - such as clinical breast exams and mammograms - saves lives.
Local businesses and individuals are sponsoring the flags to support access to breast cancer screening at KBFPC which provides reproductive healthcare regardless of ability to pay. If one of our volunteers missed you, please call KBFPC to find out about sponsorship.

Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard game.

Call For Art! HCOA is now accepting art drop offs for our Fun with 5x6x7 community group show, through 5pm November 1st!

It’s time again for HCOA’s annual 5X7 show. Started in 2018, the Fun with 5×7 show is about challenging artists to experiment or try something new. This year, we’re adding a third dimension to experiment with. The Fun with 5x6x7 offers artists the same freedom to create with more variety in shape and size.

There are no prompts or subjects and is open to all mediums, so artists can follow their own inspiration. The show is open to all ages and abilities, and we invite everyone in our community to take a chance and create something. Each artist may submit up to 6 works.

Learn more and submit your work online at https://homerart.org/event/2025-fun-with-5x6x7/, artwork must be turned in to the office by 5pm November 1st!
