The Numu Team had their last community

early spring of 2012 but are open to on-going
requests.
On another note, we have been going to the
7th period Madras High School (MHS) Cultural
Enrichment class on Tuesdays and Thursdays
and really feel like the students are dedicated
and com m itted to learning Numu and although
plans for the next semesters have not been
finalized, we hope to continue working with
the students / teachers.
Finally we forsee the Warm Springs Interpre
tive Center to be located at the Mt. Hood Ski
Bowl East, opening as scheduled on
