Dear Fellow Tribal Members:
At our last general council meeting held on October 6, 1985, Chairperson Henry
Petite announced his resignation as chairperson. On the 8th of October, the council
elected I, Mark Mercier, Vice-Chairperson, to fill the vacancy. The council also
elected council member Merle Leno to the Vice-Chair position.
As you know, we have been extremely busy working on our Reservation Plan. We
have Just a few more meetings with concerned people around the Grand Ronde community
concerning our Reservation Plan. Once these meetings are completed, the final wrap
up of the plan will be implemented, as the due date for the Reservation Plan is Nov
ember 22, 1985. The Tribal Council members requested me to announce the next general
council meeting will be held at 1:00 p.m. on November 3, 1985, in order to give the
general council an update on the tribes progress of the Reservation Plan.
Hope to see all of you there,
Mark Mercier, Tribal Chairman
