An Elvis Presley fan since childhood, George made a handsome beaded purse with Elvis Presley's face. From start to finish it took her nine months to complete the bag. George learned to beadwork as a child. She started with necklaces-stringing beads then she started to make other kinds of necklaces until she began making other items. Her fine work is sold in local art & crafts shops or by special order. George s nephew, fcrnie Bryant, came across an Elvis Presley picture in a waiting room magazine. He said, "Pebbles would love this. She's an Elvis Presley fan." He tore the picture out and brought it to her. George said, 1 his is a round picture, what am I going to do with this Sam?" She then decided to make it into a purse and came up with ideas for the other side. Her daughter Johnnie liked her idea to make a purse and she bought her the cut beads to start the beadwork of the Elvis Presley purse. She matched the beads to the picture she received from Ernie. One side is Elvis singing into a microphone with a record album background. One side has the ICB-Taking Care of Business emblem on the top, he had this OTiPicm on his euitar, the name Elvis across the middle and a teddy bear, for the song, at the bottom; all on a vellow April designated as "Springs Clean Up" month The Housing department's work group, with the assistance of tribal sanitarian Nancy Collins, has taken the initiative to designate the entire month of April as the time for the annual "Springs Clean Up" for our tenants. April 1 to 4 "Garbage Bounty Week" We have set a goal of 1,000 bags of garbage to be picked up in the month of April. The Housing department will provide five garbage bags (free of charge) to individuals for picking up garbage along side our units or along the roadside. If all goes well and wc find the financial support, we will then pay a bounty for each bag of garbage collected. We will do our best at keeping track of who collected the most garbage and at the end of the month have a grand prize for the most active individual or group. April 7 to 1 1 Large ApplianceFurniture pickup and disposal If people have large items (washer, dryers, couches, etc.) that they are tired of looking at and would like removed, we will do our best at getting to your home and take the unwanted items to the dump. April 14 to 18 Tree Limb removal and "Garbage Bounty Week" The Housing department will be concentrating on West Hills, Tcnino Apartments, Campus units and the Senior Citizen units for removal of dead and down tree limbs. We have asked for assistance from the Fire Management Staff and we are awaiting their response. Because of the large amount of limbs, we may try piling and burning of these limbs to reduce our workload and make our goal easier to achieve. April 21 to 25 Abandoned Car Roundup and Crushing The Housing department will be continuing the Abandoned Car removal project. The Warm Springs Police Department will be assisting the Housing staff by placing stickers on those cars deemed "abandoned". If individuals have a car that they would like removed, contact the Housing department. All cars removed will be at no cost to the owner. April 30 "Springs Clean Up" Picnic The staff is planning a picnic for this day to celebrate our victory. At this time, awards (donated by local merchants) will be given to the individuals or groups who have taken the most active role in the "Springs Clean Up" project. The picnic will be held at the Housing office. The Housing staff is committed to making a strong effort in carrying out the "Action Part" of our plan. If you are interested in volunteering, would like to sponsor a prizemake a donation or have different ideas that would help us, please contact the Housing department at 553-3250.
