THANKS TO TRIBAL MEMBERS FOR JULY 4TH PARTICIPATION
As some of you know, two of our tribal members participated in Willamina's
4th of July parade as Grand Marshalls. Those two were Agnes Mercier and
Esther LaEonte. Nick Leno was also scheduled to ride in the parade but
was unable to make it due to an illness. We all wish him a quick recovery.
On behalf of myself and other Council Members, I would like to say thank
you and extend our appreciation for their participation.
I would also like to take this opportunity to urge everyone to come to
