Due to lack of interest, the Pow-wow Committee
made the decision to drop the deadline application date,
and invite tribal members interested in Royalty Court to

THANKS AND FAREWELL
SENIOR QUEEN DEANA GARDNER
I have really enjoyed being Miss Grand Ronde this
year because it has been an experience which I will
never forget. I am very happy that I have been able to
meet many new people and learn so much about the
history and tradition that we all share. I would strongly
like to encourage any of the young women in our tribe
who are thinking about running for Royalty Court to do
it. I know you would have a great time and make pur
tribe proud.

Courtney Galligher is grateful for the chance to be on
Royalty Court.
JUNIOR QUEEN COURTNEY GALLIGHER
As the end of my reign as Junior Miss Grand Ronde
approaches, I don't think of it as an ending.
Representing my tribal youth at various events has been
lots of fun and a learning experience. I have grown
socially and spiritually as a young Indian girl. For the
support 1 have received from my tribe, the many friends
young and old, and my family, I am truly grateful. I
look forward to the Pow-wow with the hope that you can
join us.
