My children enter the fair every year and always have ribbons, but I never get the pictures into the paper. Gabriel made all of these crafts at Culture Camp in July. He received Grand Cham- pion for his workmanship on the bracelet. I am not sure of the instructor’s name, but she was there last year as well and has such patience with the children and adults too. I really want to thank her and also Bud Lane for helping Gabriel with the basket he made. He received first place for his basket and also his pine nut necklace. Please thank of all the instructors who come to Culture Camp as we all really appreciate them and what they do for our children.

All interested parties should contact the Dental Department to be placed on a list. The screening dates are April 26-27 and May 22-23, 2017. The program and amount of accepted applicants will be dependent on the funding for that year. Applicants are selected by case severity, motivation of the patient and guardian, reliable transportation, routine dental check-ups and the oral hygiene history of the patient, to name a few. We want the best results possible for the patient and thus place emphasis on these items in order to achieve this. The unbiased selection process is performed under the guidance of an orthodontic specialist and chosen through a committee. Open to all ages who are CHS-eligible only. Must have a scheduled screening appointment during one of the four screening days to be considered. Each year’s selection process is independent from previous years and does not carry over. Selected and treated individuals can only be selected once for the duration of the program. All applicants will be notified by mail if they have been chosen. Please contact the Siletz Dental Clinic, 541-444-9681 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1681, to be put on the list.
