It’s Happening at Chinook Winds ...
Chinook Winds Represented at
Miss America Pageant
Chinook Winds’ own Rod Ben and
Martin Wheeler attended the Miss
America Pageant in Atlantic City in
September. As you may recall, the out
going Miss America is from Oregon.
The following letter to Don
Kennedy from the Miss Oregon
Scholarship Program, received in late
September, explains the role Chinook
Winds played in the pageant.
Dear Don,
There are no other word, than
“absolutely fabulous!” The Oregon
Luncheon that was held in Atlantic City
at the Miss America Program
sponsored by Chinook Winds Casino
was voted “The Best Event of the Week,
plus being a great networking venue.
Not only the best for this past week but
for the past several years. Individuals
from across the United States were in
awe to think that the people of Oregon
on the West Coast could host such an
elegant function on the East Coast!
The people of Oregon, the Miss
Oregon Program, and Miss America
participants cannot Thank You enough
for making this possible. Rod Ben and
Martin Wheeler are the best repre
sentatives and made us all proud to
work together for the “Magic Moment.”
When we began planning this activity
after Katie became Miss America, we
sat down and put together the
ultimate program that would highlight
the Best of Oregon... nothing could have
been better ...A Blast from the Past and
the Native American Pageant.
Dana will be out of town for two
weeks and as soon as she returns, we
will bring a contingent to Chinook
Winds to set the activities in motion.
Remember, Katie will be on the
committee to assure that Chinook Winds
hcs the best.
Once again, a huge thank you for
the partnership that we have formed.
Please let everyone know the
outstanding performance and rep
resentation that Rod and Martin gave
to the state of Oregon and all the people
attending the Miss America Program.
You will hear from us soon to move
forward with two great events!
Sincerely, Sue Pickell, Executive
Vice President/Sponsorships, Miss
Oregon Scholarship Program

Employees Roll Up Sleeves
for Red Cross
Chinook Winds Casino held its sixth annual blood drive on Sept. 11.
Management and staff felt this would be the most appropriate way to pay tribute
to those who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy of 2001.
The casino’s Human Resources Department organized the event, which has
surpassed its previous record each year. Twelve employees volunteered as
recruiters, seven worked registration, six acted as escorts, and six members of the
staff worked the cantina.
The blood drive was set up in the meeting rooms across from the convention
center. Employees, including Teresa Griffiths (below), and members of the
public could be seen entering and leaving the area at regular intervals through-
out the day.
At the end of the
day, the Chinook
Winds team had
broken its record
again, surpassing
the goal of 50 units
by collecting 59
units of blood and
providing the Red
Cross with the
capacity to help more
than 180 people.
