Stacey Clark looks on as two-year-old Slade Whitley slurps a root beer float at the “Help Keep the Senior Center Afloat” fundraiser Friday at the Haines Senior Center. The event raised nearly $5,000 between the sale of floats and raffle tickets. Volunteers raffled off 25 items, including quilts, gift cards to local businesses, and salmon lox from Klukwan. Money raised will go toward hiring an activities coordinator for the center. Karen Garcia photo.
