Plan for second annual
fire fighter memorial
The Confederated Tribes Fire
Fighter Memorial has been set for
October. This year’s event will be
at the Agency Longhouse, as long
as the facility is available. The me-
morial will be on October 5.
This year the group will be rec-
ognizing the original Inter-Agency
Hotshot Crew, or the War m
Springs Forest Crew, which they
were known as in the early 1980s.
All families are welcome to par-
ticipate in honor of a loved one
on this day. Whether your loved
one was on the crew in the past or
not, this is a recognition day for all
past fire fighters from here or other
agencies.
Last year we had approxi-
mately 250 community and fam-
ily members from Warm Springs
and other agencies.
We will be having fundraisers
up until October 5; so come out
and support the cause. Donations
are also accepted. Our goal is to
raise $8,000 this year.
We will keep the community
informed as the date approaches.
If you have any questions, feel
free to contact me at 541-553-
3136.
Thank you,
Luther Clements.
