Title VI Holds
Caregiver
Workshop
by Kathryn Dick
A caregiver workshop was held in
June at Chinook Winds Casino &
Convention Center. The workshop
lasted one-and-a-half days and 46 tribal
members attended. Lodging and meals
were provided.
Topics included Alzheimer’s and
dementia, diabetes and other health
conditions, nutrition, personal care, the
aging process; and medication
management
and
challenging
behaviors. Each topic was very
interesting and all the comments were
very positive.
The Title VI Caregiver Grant paid
for the workshop, which was offered to
all tribal members and people who are
caring for someone already or who are
interested in becoming caregivers.
Funding for respite care is available
through this same grant for caregivers
in need of a break. Anyone who would
like training or information should
call Elouise Case or Kathryn Dick at
541-444-2532 or 1-800-922-1399.

Elders Attend Grand Ronde
Elder Honor Day
by Kathryn Dick
On July 26, approximately 30 Siletz elders attended the Elder
Honor Day in Grand Ronde. It was a fun-filled day with a Hawaiian
theme. Almost all elders attending the gathering were dressed in
some type of Hawaiian attire.
The luncheon was very good, followed by Bingo. The evening
started out with a “cocktail hour.” Everyone was served punch in
glasses decorated with a fish (not a real one) and a cherry with
slices of lemon and lime on the edge. Each glass also had a cute
little umbrella at the top.
A tribal member and her husband provided very enjoyable
music. The dinner was a Hawaiian-style one, including fancy
desserts made with coconut and another with macadamia nuts and
chocolate. It was a fun-filled day enjoyed by everybody.
