To the editor:
As a candidate for the 2003 Tribal
Council elections, I would like to thank
those members who voted for me in this
year’s election.
I found the election process to be a
valuable experience and particularly
enjoyed the candidate’s fair. I hope to
run again in the future and encourage
the Election Board to try to schedule a
candidate’s fair at each of the four tribal
area office locations in the coming year.
This would allow more tribal
membership participation in the process
and an opportunity for tribal members
to hear what each candidate has to say.
This is just one issue that I campaigned
for, as I believe that it’s important that
the tribe try to provide more
opportunities for tribal member
participation within the 11-county
service district.
I would also like to thank my family
for their support and encouragement to
run in this year’s election. I congratulate
the 2(X)3 elected council members and
hope that the current Tribal Council will
To the editor:
I would like to thank everyone who
voted for me. I really appreciate your
support. And I’d also like to
congratulate Reg Butler, JoAnn Miller,
and Dave Hatch for their successful
election. I know they will do their best
to work for our tribe.
Sincerely,
Shari Logan
address the following issues in the
coming year:
•
•
•
Rotate Tribal Council meetings
within the four area office service
districts to enhance tribal member
participation.
Analyze why tribal members who
apply for services are denied and
evaluate if there are gaps in services
that can be addressed.
Continue to find ways to meet the
continued health needs of tribal
members everywhere.
I was encouraged to see an increase
in the number of voters in this year’s
election and hope that this trend will
continue to grow. I also hope that we’ll
continue to see more candidates
running for Tribal Council each year,
as I believe that a healthy tribe supports
participation at all levels to promote
continued growth for our tribe.
Sincerely,
Laurie Brown-Godfrey
To the editor:
A big thank you to General Council
for the vote of confidence. I will
work to the best of my ability for all
tribal members.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
JoAnn Miller
To the editor:
A big thank you to Marci Taylor for coming to our rescue (the elders) on
Jan. 11,2003, when we had a problem with our bus. You were there immediately,
offering your help.
This is the first time we were able to reach anyone after regular hours.
You are to be commended. We sincerely appreciate you.
Gratefully yours,
Gladys Bolton
To the editor:
It was my pleasure to attend the
Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians
charitable distribution of funds on
Feb. 6, 2003, in Siletz, Ore. This was
my first experience in receiving grant
funds and I was impressed not only with
the amount of money disbursed, but
with the diversity of the programs that
received the funding.
Leslie Middle School Soccer Club
began last year with a total of 16 players.
The students’ interest in the soccer club
grew and this year we have a total of 44
players on three teams. We now have two
boys teams and a girls team registered
with Salem United Soccer Club to begin
league play this spring.
The cost of the Salem United Soccer
Club increased from $90 a student last
year to $130 this year. This year, 90
percent to 95 percent of our students
playing soccer are kids at risk and come
from a low economic environment.
There was no possibility of their being
able to afford that amount of money in
order to play soccer.
With the generous donation of
$ 1.000 from the Confederated Tribes of
Siletz Indians, we reached our goal and
we were able to register our three teams
with Salem United Soccer.
The students and community of
Leslie Middle School are aware of their
generous donation. If we had not
received these funds, we would not have
been able to participate in Salem United
Soccer Club this year. We just want to
thank the Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians for the generous donation.
Because of this donation, these 44
students now get to play soccer.
