Friends of Nike Site Summit (FONSS) is an Anchorage community organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of Nike Site Summit.  We are partnered with the Alaska Association for Historic Preservation (AAHP), a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of Alaska's historic and prehistoric resources.  FONSS formed in 2007 to advocate for the preservation of Nike Site Summit as a memorial to the thousands of men and women that served during the Cold War.  We meet monthly on the third Wednesday from 6:00-7:00 pm at Wings of Freedom building located at Merrill Field (Reeve Blvd and Fifth Avenue).  We welcome new members.  Before coming to a meeting, please confirm the meeting day and time, by e-mail fonss2007@gmail.com.
