Page 2 September 1, 1995 SMOKE SIGNALS , . ; r I Business Information Center: It's a good thing By Tracy Dugan On August 17 a dedication ceremony was held at the Small Business Development Cen ter inviting tribal members to utilize the new materials they now have. There were many people from both the Wash ington, D.C. and Portland Small Business Ad ministration offices who were instrumental in helping the Tribe receive its BIC, and who at tended the dedication ceremony. They were: Cassandra Pulley, Monica Edwards-Harrison, John Gillman, and Don Matsuda. Also in at tendance was Patrick Borunda, of the Oregon Native American Business and Entrepreneur ial Network. The guests each spoke briefly about the con ception of the BIC project and how the Tribe received these business materials. One of the best things about the Business Development Center is that it offers something for anyone who is interested in starting a small business enterprise. Small Business Develop ment now has a sizeable library of information including videos, computer programs, and in dividual business start-up guides for almost any business one might imagine. If you have never been interested in being an entrepreneur, visit the Business Information Center, and you will be. John Gillman of the Portland SBA office, and Monica Edwards-Harrison, from Washington, D.C. display the dessert for the BIC dedication. 4 EDITOR: Tracy Dugan ASSISTANT COORDINATOR: Kim Mueller Smoke Signals is a publication of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon.
