TRIBAL PROGRAM NEWS Portland Office Hosts Harvest Party The Portland Area CTSI Office would like to thank all who attended the Harvest Party in October. It was great fun and we certainly enjoyed getting the chance to visit with everyone. A special thanks to the elders who traveled from Salem, Eugene, and Siletz. Did everyone get a Martian? (Inside joke!) I will never forget Maude Lane fishing for one of those cute little things! Seeing all of the children in their costumes was a special treat. And last but certainly not least, a great big thank you to all who helped decorate and for the donations of candy and decorations. This celebration would not have been possible without the contributions from the prevention programs led by Lisa Brown and Danelle Zosel- Sanderson. Thanks!
