Mark your calendars: CIRI and The CIRI Foundation’s annual Friendship Potlatches are nearing! CIRI held its first annual Friendship Potlatch in 1985 to celebrate family, culture and heritage through traditional and modern means. The Friendship Potlatches feature cultural entertainment, children’s activities, Alaska Native arts and crafts booths, CIRI-affiliated and -founded nonprofit information booths, door prizes and a meal that includes traditional Alaska Native food.
Please RSVP by calling (907) 263-5191 or (800) 764-CIRI and selecting option 5 to ensure that CIRI provides enough food for shareholders and their families. CIRI shareholders who are interested in displaying or selling arts and crafts should email info@ciri.com or call (907) 263-5113.
