TRIBAL PROGRAM NEWS Cut Wood for the Elders Day The Tribal Natural Resources Committee and Natural Resources Department will sponsor another Cut Wood for the Elders Day on July 11. The woodcut will be held at the old log yard at the Tribe’s Toledo Mill property. We need lots of volunteers to help split firewood for Tribal Elders. Bring your hydraulic wood splitters, splitting mauls, axes and lots of energy. Even if you don’t have any of those, we can use the moral support! Lunch, drinks and snacks will be provided. We will meet at the Tribal adminis tration building at 8 a.m. and caravan to the mill. For anyone wishing to come later, directions to the mill will be posted on the front door of the building. The goal of this event is to stockpile firewood for future delivery to Elders. Elders’ Coordinator Danise Barker maintains a list of Elders who bum wood for their winter heat. People willing to haul firewood to Elders outside of the Siletz area should contact Danise at 800-922-1399, ext. 1225, or 541-444-8225 and she will pair you up with an Elder in need. We especially need folks who can haul wood to the Eugene, Salem and Portland areas. If you have parents or grandparents who bum wood in the winter to stay warm, you need to help out at this event! Also mark your calendars for a future Cut Wood for the Elders Day on Sept. 19.
