Help needed at the second Cut Wood for the Elders Day Planning The Tribal Natural Resources Com- Department mittee and Natural Resources Department will sponsor the second Cut Wood for the wants to know: Elders Day of the year on July 15. The woodcut will be held on the Paper or digital? Tribe’s Logsden Road property between the Tribal food distribution warehouse and the Tribal vehicle storage yard in Siletz. We need lots of volunteers to help cut, split and deliver firewood for Tribal elders. Bring your chainsaws, hydraulic wood split- ters, splitting mauls, axes and lots of energy. Lunch, drinks and snacks will be provided. We will start at 8 a.m. and go until around 2 p.m. The goal of this event will be to deliver firewood to as many elders as possible. The Elders Program maintains a list of elders who burn wood for their winter heat. People willing to haul firewood to elders outside of the Siletz area should contact the Elders Program clerk at 800- 922-1399, ext. 1261, or 541-444-8261 to be paired up with an elder in need. We especially need folks who can haul wood to the Eugene, Salem and Portland areas. Elders in need of firewood also should contact the Elders Program clerk to get their name on the delivery list. The first woodcut held in May was immensely successful. Let’s see if we can repeat that success at this one.

If you have parents or grandparents who burn wood in the winter to stay warm, you need to help out at this event!

The Planning Department is experi- menting with new ways to administer Tribal member surveys. In January, we developed a web-based Transportation Survey. This month we are trying out social media by creating a Facebook page! When we send out a survey, we hope to get as many responses back as possible. We need to gather information and get feedback from you in order to make good decisions. But we also want to minimize the burden involved in filling out and returning a survey. So if having a survey delivered to your email inbox is easier for you than getting a paper one in the mail, we’d like to know that. But if you prefer paper surveys, that’s important for us to know as well. In the future, we might also consider having a staff member call you to read the survey out loud and get your responses verbally. This is the most expensive option, however. We welcome your opinions on the following questions: 1. Do you prefer paper surveys or web- based surveys? 2. Do you prefer to be contacted by mail, email, phone, text message? You can let us know using one of the following ways: • • Contact Jen Martin, Planning data coordinator, by phone at 541-444- 8271 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1271; or email at jmartin@ctsi.nsn.us Take our poll on Facebook!
