Siiil $1 ,600 raised for Grand Ronde community
The Tribe is online
check it out!
New technology has come to Grand Ronde. Yes,
the Tribe now has its own website where any one
will be able to access information on the Grand
Ronde Tribe. This is a brand new site with links to
the Casino and all tribal programs. The Gaming
Commission, Small Business Development (SBD),
and the Casino's pages are impressive. However,
many of the links are still "under construction."
But keep watching for the web pages to develop.
Everyone is encouraged to access information
right now on the Tribe's Small Business site. On
that site you will find:
Current events happening with the local Cham
ber of Commerce, like the Willamina Art Tour.
ONACC - the Oregon Native American Cham
ber of Commerce.
ONABEN Oregon Native American Business
and Entrepreneurial Network.
Monthly computer classes offered in Grand
Ronde and other services offered by SBD.
The coolest page is the Tribal Members Busi
ness Directory. This is a listing of 59 tribal mem
ber businesses all over the U.S. Check it out!
The annual STROLL FOR SANTA fund-raiser
was held on Saturday, September 12. Walkers from
Grand Ronde collected $1600 in pledged donations
which will purchase Christmas decorations for
the Grand Ronde area. The local Chamber of Com
merce would like to thank everyone that walked
and pledged for the support they gave for this
cause.
Now, a community team needs to be established
to purchase the new holi
day decorations. If you
are interested in making
the Grand Ronde area fes
tive for the holidays,
please attend a meeting on
Friday, October 16 at
noon. The meeting will
be held at Small Business,
upstairs in the Molalla
Room.

Another item that needs support is signs welcom
ing people to Grand Ronde. Suggestions are needed
for the design of these signs. In addition to the
$1,000 already raised, a Bingo fund-raiser is
scheduled at the Casino on November 4. As com
munity members, here is your chance to partici
pate in some real "community fun." For more
information or bingo tickets, please call Sheila
Herber at 879-2469 or Barbara Lake at 879-2476.
