NOTICES ■ I Siletz Community Christmas Program a Success Sponsored by the Siletz Valley Partnership, Siletz Valley Grange, and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon The annual community Christmas program began with a welcome from Tina Retasket, assistant general manager for the Siletz Tribe, followed by Pastor Vance Lindstrom of the Assembly of God Church with an opening prayer. The Siletz Tribal Head Start joined the celebration by singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Christine Frederic, bookkeeper I in the Accounting Department, graced us with her beautiful voice, singing Silent Night and O’ Holy Night, and started an audience sing-a-long of Frosty the Snowman. Pam Lane, billings clerk at the Siletz Clinic, and Siletz Middle School students sang Little Drummer Boy, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, and Have a Merry, Merry Christmas. A highlight of the celebration was a tribal staff skit entitled “How the Elves Saved Christmas.” Another audience sing-a-long, Deck the Halls and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, led to Santa Claus’ arrival in a fire truck. Young to old gathered to get a chance to sit on Santa’s lap and get their bag of goodies. Kathy Stewart played the piano while visitors enjoyed the celebration and snacked on sandwiches, cookies, refreshments, and other yummy treats.
