Lil Miss Warm Springs Commemorative Powwow
Wednesday, February 24, 1 999
Warm Springs Community Center
The Lil Miss Warm Springs Program is calling all interested girls
12 years and older to attend Powwow planning meeting every
Wednesday after school in Carolis room at the Community
Center.
There is no. . .
Big Screen TV
Dance Lights (so no dances)
Aerobics music
Aerobics speakers
Nintendo 64
Movies in Carol's room
Music over PA system
These are the special things that
the Community Wellness Staff
provided for the public.
Now that these items are gone, it
makes you wonder,"why steal from
your own people?"
People in the community, be aware
of what's going on, start watching
out for each other.
It also makes you wonder about
that saying when you were a kid,
"Can't buy you anything" or "Can't
keep anything nice."
The Community Wellness was
broken into and vandalized the night
of February 2.
The Community Wellness Center
is a public place for all community
members to go and exercise or attend
weekend events with their families.
To break in and destroy or steal
items from the Community Wellness
Center doesn't affect only the staff
but the community members who
utilize it for aerobics or other types
of physical fitness activity and the
youth who go there after school.
