As many of you may know, I am the only person nel located at thé USDA Warehouse on a full-time basis. When I have to leave the building to pick up mail, meetings, etc., this leaves the phone to be answered by a machine. If you use the machine it not only saves me time, but you time in having to call back. When you call and I am not here to answer the phone, please leave your name, telephone number and a message and I will return your call as soon as I am back in the office. FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reserva tions is a program of the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This program provides foods for good health to households living on Indian Reser vations or near the Reservation of a Tribe of which they are members. For a household to qualify the following must be met: 1. ADULT TRIBAL MEMBER a. There must be a t least one Tribal Member in the household. b. That Tribal Member must at 18 years of age or older. 2. FOOD PROGRAM SERVICE AREA (15 Counties) a. All eligible Tribal members may be served in the regular eight-county service area (Benton, Lane, Linn, Lincoln, Marion, Polk, Yamhill and Tillamook) B. Seven additionalcounties (Clatsop, Coos, Colum bia, Washington, Multnomah, Clackamas and Douglas) are available for sevice with one restriction; eligible Tribal Members living in these counties must reside in a rural setting (towns with a population of 10,000 or less). 3. FOOD STAMPS a. You cannot participate in both the Food Stamp and Food Distribution Programs during the same months. You may however, switch from one program to the other with ten (10) days notice. Siletz Employment Program The Siletz Employment Program is now in opera tion, serving clients in the Tribal eight-county service area of Tillamook, Lincoln, B enton, Y am h ill, P o lt, Marion, Linn and Lane coun ties. As this article goes to press, the Program has a total of 39 participants. Twenty-two clients are in Work Experience training positions with various public entities, fourteen clients are in Classroom training, and three clients are in the On- the-Job Training positions w ith em p lo y ers in the private sector. On-the-Job Training posi tions are proving to be the most difficult positions for the Program to develop for c lie n ts b ecause of th e d e p re s s e d e m p lo y m e n t situation in the private sec tor. These On-the-Job Train ing positions are the most beneficial to the Program participants because they of fer an opportunity to transi tion to regular, unsubsidized employment. All three area Counselors are attempting to develop more such positions with private emloyers for Program participants. T he S ile tz A re a , (Tillamook, Benton and Lin coln counties) is looking for clients interested in obtain ing their GED. If you are in terested, contact Mary Lane at the Siletz Area Office, 444-2536. SUMMER FOSTER The Indian Child Welfare P ro g ra m is a c tiv e ly recruiting for a family who would like to provide a foster home for two teenage tribal boys for the summer. Ideally the home would be in the Siletz area, but any in terested families would be welcomed. Please contact Doni White, 444-2514, if you feel you could provide a tem porary home for two very nice young men. MISSING MOCCASINS Siletz Area Office Enrollment Department P.O.
