4 Smoke Signals &333j Dear Tribal members, I would like to thank each and everyone of you who voted for me in the recent Tribal Council elec tion and although I didn't win, I felt it was a pretty good showing. I wish all the new Tribal Council members the best of luck in their new positions. I plan to get more involved with the Tribe and its government in the upcoming year as well as trying again for Tribal Council. Sincerely, Leona Jeffers Roll 917 Dear Tribal members, It is with appreciation that I offer this letter of thanks for those who voted and took part in our recent Tribal Council elections. Our individual Tribal ballot does count and assures that our Tribal needs are represented and provides guidance to how our Tribe's future is shaped. I took an oath to uphold the laws of the Tribe and to represent the needs of our members, I intend to fulfill this obligation to the best of my ability. I look forward to meeting each of you as you attend the General Council or Tribal Council meetings. With warm regards, Cheryle A.
