General Council Meeting Nov. 7, 2015 Funded Orthodontic Treatment Screening The 2016 Funded Orthodontic Treatment Program is fast approaching! If you are interested in applying, please contact the dental department at the Siletz Community Health Clinic to be placed on a list starting January 2016. The screening dates have not yet been set, but likely will be sometime in late spring 2016. The program and amount of accepted applicants will depend on funding for that year. Applicants are selected by case severity and are chosen based on motivation by the patient and parent, reliable transporta- tion and the oral hygiene of the patient, to name a few. The non-biased selection process is performed under the guidance of an orthodontic specialist and applicants are chosen through a committee. We want the best results possible for the patient and thus place emphasis on these items in order to achieve this. This program is open to all ages who are Siletz Tribal members only. All applicants will be notified by mail if they have been chosen. Please contact the Siletz Dental Clinic at 541-444- 9681 or 800-648- 0449 if you have any questions. 1 p.m. Siletz Tribal Community Center Siletz, Oregon Call to Order Invocation Flag Salute Roll Call Approval of Agenda Approval of Minutes Programs Health – Alternative Health Program Siletz Tribal Youth Council Tribal Members’ Concerns Tribal Council Candidates Declarations Chairman’s Report Announcements Adjourn 4 • Siletz News • November 2015 RV Park in Lincoln City in 2004 and the Hee Hee Illahee RV Resort in Salem in 2006.

The combination of Tribal employ- ees and those at Chinook Winds Casino Resort has made the Siletz Tribe the larg- est employer in Lincoln County. The Siletz Tribe has honored its tra- dition of sharing within the community by distributing more than $12 million through the Siletz Tribal Charitable Con- tribution Fund and other Tribal resources. Chinook Winds has donated more than $2.8 million in cash and fundraising items since 1995. It also provides in-kind donations of convention space for various fundraisers as well as technical support, advertising and manpower for events.
