ENROLLMENT FW PDW WOW
ENROLLMENT REPORT
Dear Fellow Tribal Members and Friends;
Because few applications were completed in the last
month, our tribal membership is still 2273. When an
enrollment application is received, I write to the appli
cant, and explain that a waiting period is necessary
before their file is approved and their roll number
issued.
Each completed application is reviewed by the Enroll
ment Committee. The Committee makes a recommen
dation to the Tribal Council to approve or reject an
applicant. The Tribal Council then acts on the recom
mendation and a roll number is issued.
An Enrollment Committee meeting is called when there
are two hours of reviewing ready. As there are nine
Committee members, it would be unfair to call them in
for just a half hour. Because of the delay between
completion of an application file and the issuing of a roll
number, I will verify a client's eligibility when requested.
Each applicant is enrolled by their legal last name. If I
get a call for a verification for a client who is listed on
the membership roll as Sam Smith, but the call is for
Sam North, I would verify him as non-enrolled. The
most common occurance of an incorrect last name is for
step-children. Please give their legal last name for tribal
verification.
All name changes must be justified by the Enrollment
Committee and approved by the Tribal Council. Please
contact me for assistance. The Tribal I.D. cards are
issued daily. I recommend a call ahead just to make
sure that an issuing officer is present. The issuing
officers are myself, Greg Archuleta and Joann McClary.
If you are a relative have not received a letter from the
Tribal Chairman with a roll number on it, please check
with me. You may not be enrolled, and may be denied
benefits. If you have questions on the enrollment
procedure, please call or write to me in care of this
office.
Sincerely, '
Margo George

WEIGHT LOSS CONTEST
The Weight Loss Contest was held from January 4, to
February 29, 1988 through the Tribal Office. The
contest consisted of a packet of information for each
contestant to follow while participating in the contest,
the packet contained information in regards to weight
charts, checklists for week by week progress, and ideas .
for better control of weigh. Each contestant weighed in
at the office every Monday between 8:30 and 5:00. Their
weight was then recorded under confidentiality, the
contestants made up names so that their real names
were not used on the charts with the information in
them.
The contest had nine contestants consisting of: Tony
George, Joann McClary, Shelley Hanson, Carol Terp, Al
Terp and Tammy Fry, with the other three contestants
being left un-named. The contest co-winners were Tony
George and Tammy Fry with both of them obtaining
four starspoints each. The points were awarded as
follows: 1 pointstar for each person reaching their
personal goal of not more then 2 pounds a week, -1
pointstar if they did not weigh in on Monday, and 0
pointsstar if they lost more than their personal goal.
The total amount of weight lost was 33 34 lbs.
If any tribal members are interested in looking at the
contest packet to try the material on their own, can
contact Bonne Martin or Tammy Fry at the Tribal
Office. We have a weekly list of individuals that weigh
in every Monday so if you are interested, please contact
us.

FISH & WILDLIFE
The Fish and Wildlife Committee has set up the follow
ing guidelines for the distribution of Salmon expected to
take place in June.
1) Persons picking fish up for another tribal member
must have a signed note from the person.
2) Two pounds of fish will be given for each tribal
member in the family.
3) The fish will be distributed on a first come, first serve
basis.
The Tribe is expected to receive 2000 pounds of subsis
tence salmon sometime in June. Further information
will be published in later editions of Smoke Signals.
The Fish and Wildlife Committee is looking for tribal
members interested in being Hunter Safety Instructors
for youth between the ages of 12 to 18 in the Grand
Ronde area.
The instructors would need to pass the State's Hunter
Safety Certification Test and would be involved in
planning and implementing Hunter Safety courses.
The Committee hopes to supplement the state required
materials with actual hands on activities for the students
in the rifle and bow hunting areas.
Tribal members are encouraged to get involved in the
activities. The Hunter Safety Program will be discussed
in more detail at the Committee's next meeting on April
nth, at 6:00 p.m. at the Tribal Office. Interested Tribal
members are encouraged to attend the meeting. For
more information, call Greg Archuleta at 879-5211.
