2 JULY 15, 2002 Smoke Signals iiuiKUimi fJ rt'" A it- V ".!! o d A special thank you, Saturday at the Klamath Community Treatment Center Pow-wow, I asked the Pow-wow Committee if we could do a special blanket dance for the Loren Davidson Family. Marce Norwest told everyone what had hap pened to this family and why we were doing the blanket dance. The blanket was carried by the Grand Ronde Royalty Court, Brandi Little, Junior Miss Grand Ronde, Tenisha Rios, Little Miss Grand Ronde, Sheena Johnson, Miranda Provost, Victoria Rios, and Melissa Biery, Grand Ronde Princesses and the Veterans' Royalty Court. All of the Grand Ronde Tribal members and Veterans' Color Guard were asked to join into the special blanket dance for this family, about 50 Tribal members. There was $212.20 donated for the Davidson Family. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their kind words and donations. All proceeds were taken to Bank of America. Brandi Little Junior.
