Days are counting down until our 2025 Annual Lamplighters meeting in Anchorage, Alaska! We have put together what we hope you will find an interesting agenda and some exciting adventures as we all make new memories with our Lamplighter family. (Please see the agenda below.) Our weather can be variable in Alaska in July but averages in the mid-60's. We suggest a strategy of "layering clothing" for our outdoor activities; especially for Friday July 18th which will be our main outside day of exploring. We can't wait to welcome all of you to our home state of Alaska and the Last Frontier!
