City of Homer Newsletter Archive 

Take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy highlights of past City activities by perusing our archived City Newsletters. We now primarily use other communication tools to keep residents and visitors informed, including Facebook and Instagram (@cityofhomerak), our website, and press releases. However, these newsletters are too good to simply remove from our website, so we offer the archive here. We hope you enjoy them!
