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:
