Renee Metcalf
Manages Bingo
Siletz Tribal member Renee
Metcalf, employed by Chinook Winds
Casino as the interim assistant Bingo
manager, has overseen the operation of
the Bingo program since October 2000.
Over the past 11 years, she has
worked for the Confederated Tribes of
Siletz Indians in numerous capacities,
including Siletz Tribal administration
and the Siletz Tribal Smokehouse. She
started working for Chinook Winds in
the temporary facility in January 1996.
Formerly a member of the Human
Resources Department, Metcalf has
established herself as a people person,
becoming a friendly face and a person
that Chinook Winds' guests enjoy
coming into contact with.
As a Siletz Tribal member, Metcalf
stated, “I have been given an excellent
opportunity to grow and truly feel that
I am accomplishing major life goals.
My experiences are a great example of
tribal enterprises and the direct positive
Renee Metcalf
impacts they can have on tribal
membership, when given the chance.”
In the brief time that she has been
managing the Bingo program, a number
of exciting changes have taken place,
including Las Vegas Style Bingo.
Metcalf also is responsible for
spearheading a Bingo food drive that
collected food and toys to give nine
families happy holidays this past winter,
with plenty left over to donate to the
women’s shelter.
John Farrar Promoted to
Security Director
John G. Farrar has been promoted to security director. He has been affiliated
with Chinook Winds since May 1995 and is an original employee of the casino.
He first was employed by the casino as a security supervisor and later as the
security manager before being promoted to security director.
After retiring from the U.S. Air Force in 1992, Farrar worked at the Aladdin
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He relocated to Oregon in 1994 so he could
“make wind chimes and walk on the beach.”
“My retirement only lasted about 45 days. I’ve worked since I was 11 years
old and had too much time on my hands,” John commented.
He went back to work as a plant manager for a local manufacturing plant
and then for a local bank before being hired by Chinook Winds in 1995.
