B y L e s lie M itts S p ilya y Tym oo Members o f the local Elder Council fundraising committee are raising money to attend the National Indian Council on Ag ing Conference this fall. Chairperson Eliza Jim said they h ope to raise enough money for 40 elders to travel to the conference in Tacoma. The National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) holds the annual conference throughout the country, she said. “This is the first time its in our area,” Jim added. So far the group is planning to hold a breakfast on Saturday during Pi-Ume-Sha and is also holding individual flea markets and com pleting various lun cheons and sewing projects. “We’re going gung-ho,” Jim said. Currently several members of the elder council fundraising committee are meeting weekly to discuss fund-raising options and plan upcoming events. Because the Confederated Tribes o f Warm Springs is a member o f the hosting tribal region, Jim added, the tribes also donated 10 elk. E ld e r C ouncil S ecretary Lucinda Green said she feels it is important for elders to at tend the conference because it gives them a chance to listen to issues and co n c ern s o f tribal seniors from all areas of the country. ----- 2008 Hood to Coast Raffle D raw ing to be h eld June 25, 2008 (Need n o t be present to win) T ickets are $1 ea or 6 for $5 In addition, she added, they receive important health care information relating to seniors. Because of that, Green said, she is hoping they will be able to bring useful information back to seniors that didn’t attend the conference. Each year the NICOA con ference is attended by elders, tribal leaders, health directors, social workers, health care pro viders, senior service providers and many other participants in volved with senior issues.
